Domer so red baiting wouldn't bother me anyway. It's the reds that bother me. She is no more a Republican than the next commie lib and I would appreciate it if she made it official like she is hinting. The party is stronger without a 5th column. That is all I am saying.

But that's ok. As far as taking you out of context, that's up to readers to decide. Your use of the term "anathema" is important: you would impose a specific set of values and argue them as historical fact: witness your repeatedly asserted and historically bankrupt statement that all societies have valued exactly the same male-female form of marriage and that is therefore somehow proven to be the best idea. That's all well and good, but what are you going to do with your Christianist leanings with the growing percentage (now up 10-15%) of Americans who are atheists? By your definition they can't be conservatives, since politically conservative requires a Judeo-Christian background. As for whether you intended "red-baiting" or not, you did it. Plain and simple, you attacked a member of your own political party in those terms because she didn't agree with you. It is perhaps more vile because you refuse to take responsibility when called on it. David,

I looked at other states and they don't even care about each other. We have something unique. That is what makes the local sphere so interesting.
