“The combination of free-markets and federalism is the tonic for the party’s ills and is key to uniting both fiscal and social conservatives.”

Amen and amen.

“While it might sell well in the sticks where religion is all anyone knows and all their neighbors think gays should not be seen nor heard, it really does alienate people who actually live among other people and have friends from different walks of life and nationalities.”

Not only are you a “progressive minister”, you’re a deluded “progressive minister”. 50% of this country opposes abortion. Support for gay marriage has never polled over 35%. Methinks you’ve harangued your flock into silence. The majority of them oppose gay marriage even if they don’t tell you that on Sunday. Does California count as “the sticks”? Prop. 8. Look it up. And frankly, your condescension and contempt for “country bumpkins” brings my memories of Sunday school to mind…something about “motes” and “beams”. But you’re the “minister”, I’m sure you already know what I’m talking about.
