Interesting, and I don't doubt your sincerity. But how do you reconcile that stance with the GOP's race to the right on issues like gay marriage, gay rights generally, equal pay and the most emotive of them all, abortion, where there is a sizable lobby for banning it completely regardless of the circumstances?
When people like me carelessly drop the word "taliban" when referring to the GOP, it's mostly unjust, except where it comes to their atavistic approach to social issues. The US is dangerously close to reversing the positive trends in gender and sexual issues that has typified the shift in most other developed societies in the last forty/fifty years. Is that truly what you want to see? Because with a Romney/Ryan ticket, you surely will.
But pleasures are like poppies spread
You seize the flow'r, the bloom is shed

For me, what most undermines OMK's posts is his total inability to present an original thought. It's just all cut-and-pastes from the latest hysterical right-wing blogs with an "LMFAO" tacked on somewhere. It's pointless to try to engage him in any kind of substantive debate. He lacks the intellectual capacity to consider and respond to a contrary point.
This kind of unquestioning credulity is actually a point of pride among a certain strain of American conservative. They call themselves, "Dittoheads." It's weird.
