Yeah but the religious right sure does hate gays. Which is wrong to enforce your beliefs on others. And that doesn't include abortions.

Hell, I bet half of the Democratic party's men will follow suit and vote against her too because they’ll be damned if a woman is bringing home the bacon.
I disagree. Hillary is the wrong person for the right role. We ARE ready to elect a woman as President, just not her. And there don't appear to be any other women with enough recognition to mount a challenge just yet.

Get in line behind all the <35 year old prior service enlisteds. I really don't see a draft happening anytime soon though. Enlistments aren't down, we all know what happened to the country before we abolished it the last time, and besides, we just voted a draft dodger in over a decorated veteran. It would be a pretty damn ballsy move.

Agreed. Religious faith in itself is almost always a virtue. It's those who push their faith on those who don't wish it that perpetuate the conflict between the religious and those who choose not to be.

can someone explain this?
Why do you think I started all these threads? I'm trying to figure out why what I wanted to happen didn't, and taking a fresh look at my own perspectives and views.

I think complaining about it and not accepting it are two different things. You've heard it said before- the single biggest reason to vote is so you can ***** if things don't go how you want them to.

You need to be willing to walk through a door if it opens. In my opinion, having someone push you to see a specialist is that open door.
Agreed, again. Too often people who dislike people with strong faith leap to the extremist examples. Those with strong faith do it too, and I always find it annoying from both sides.

So, are you admitting your mistake in reasoning? Who is 'they' in your post?
