re: #187 O say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave..

FiveThirtyEight does a good job of calling out the Republican Party as the problem in our “uncivil war” in this country. It still bugs me, however, that people try to both-siderize by saying that the increasingly progressive positions the Democratic Party has been taking in recent years are somehow giving ammunition to fundamentalist Republicans who, and I quote, “don’t want to live in” that changed America. I don’t care anymore - people have to be willing to recognize when they are wrong and they need to change. There is no reason why full equality under the law is incompatible with Christian belief, and Christianity is not and should never be the law of the land.

If they want to live in an oppressive theocracy, they can move to Saudi Arabia. The US is a democracy, and the majority rules here.
