What about the politicization of secularism? In a way, the obsession to remove morality from every aspect of life is the main reason religion began to become so politicized in the 1970's.

The left only reaped what they tried to sow. Instead of live and let live, we have two sides bent on the others utter destruction, whereas before both sides focused more on important issues of economy, foreign policy, etc...

Both sides are to blame for the current sad state of politics in America.

I'll be better off in a less populated state and a less fiscally delusional state. I'm talking about improving my chances...

Not disagreeing with you, but both sides are obsessed with beating the other, and no concern what happens to America or to Americans.

I give that rip an 8.5. The tactic employed is overused but the execution was flawless.

Who gives a flying f on a rolling doughnut? We have enough fun in the California fora with the moth to the flame Texans who can't hide their fascination with this state. We don't have to go seek it out.

You'll learn, grasshopper.

Yep, no matter what side you're on, get rid of the damn lobbies. I'm an environmentalist but get rid of the environmental lobby, the gun lobby etc. etc.
