How is that any worse than a church that says abortion will bring hellfire and holy damnation on America? When Obama expresses a desire to push secular members out of the DNC, get back to me. That's the real difference. GOPernuts are absolutists, which is just another word for radical.

Obviously, the ‘damnation’ thing is a religious belief that one can hold, or not. Telling people that the government invented AIDS as an act of genocide is simply untrue. And racially divisive. And dangerous, as it hampers prevention efforts.

So, McCain tried to push secular members out of the RNC? Or Bush? Huh?

I am not a religious conservative. Any Republican stance I take is based on non-religious terms. I acknowledge the nuts on the right; it’s just that Democrats can’t acknowledge the nuts on the left. Even if they plant bombs, or spew racial hatred for a room full of cheering congregants, for pete’s sake.

I don’t think Obama is a dope, or an extremist. But I know that he will associate with them for political gain. Because he has.
