Been looking at some reports of local politics from around the country and various races (for governors, AG, etc) especially for Republican nominations.

I’m struck by how very strident the “right” has become, in that even self-avowed “conservative Christian” candidates are no longer “conservative” enough! (Perhaps later I’ll have time to write up a Page entry about some of them.)

For example, there is one case where a woman who describes herself as a pro-life Christian, who’s opinion on abortion - that it should only be allowed in cases of rape and incest - is not hard core enough! Her opponent “opposes abortion in all instances.”

Wow.
