Returning the “Hear, hear” Barry D! Exactly.

I just don’t see how comments like darcy’s are meant to bring anyone else into the fold. If SoCons want to be so insulting to anyone that disagrees with them on the validity of government intervention on moral issues, it’s no wonder they wind up electoral losers.

Ratatosk hits the nail on the head too, with the reference to young people today. I have a 19 year old son, in college, and he’s an extremely moral and upstanding young man. But I can vouch for the fact that arguments such as Marc’s & darcy’s (Marc Darcy… heh)would have him and most of his peers turning away in disgust. As my son has mentioned to me countless times… it’s really hard to get behind a candidate when they play right into the leftist’s stereotypes of conservatism and seem proud of that fact. He certainly is no Obama supporter, but he’s really turned off by the constant Heavenly-host-trumpet-blaring of the SoCons. Let him be responsible for his own soul, thanks. The ship of state has plowed head-on into an iceberg. We’ve got plenty of reality to deal with right here on earth.
