I have never met anyone who says "I only care about economic issues" that didn't turn out to be an extreme social conservative.
The chances are that this was insidious but intentional.
In my estimation, while 100% of teapartiers say it's about overspending, 80% of them care even more (based upon surveys) about socially conservative "moral" issues.
Nobody is denying that voters shifted power to the GOP with a clear fiscal agenda to fix the economy, create jobs, reduce the deficit, and lower health care costs. Most of the GOP candidates who won didn't really even bring up social issues in their campaigns.
However, Americans may have inadvertently stoked the flames of the culture war by giving the religious right the opportunity both on the state and national level to overwhelmingly impose it's social agenda. House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor have long records of working with the Religious Right on a wide variety of social issues.
How long will it be before the GOP gives in to their religious right special interest groups and begin a crusade against gay rights and abortion? How much of a beating will the Constitution take once the economy is stable again?
What shadow? Religious lunacy parades itself openly in America.It must be sad to have to live in fear of christian boogeymen lurking around every corner and hiding in every shadow. :shrug:

Oh, no no no.almost as obnoxiously as atheistic loons do eh?

I'll tell you what, Oscar and Rev. Patria is gay. Go on the polls page. Look at the voting on the poll about putting gays to death for the horrible crime of being gay. If you were dealing with people on an online forum who thought you should be put to death, you might have a slightly different perspective on who is "out to get you."
As my former lieutenant used to say..."Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people AREN'T out to get you."
Besides, He ain't jack until he receives REAL death threats here at DP. :ssst:

Are you ready to ask for help in dealing with your whiny persecution complex? I swear, anytime someone offers even minor criticism, you're off the rails about how mean everyone is to white, male, redneck, sister-screwing, homophobic, racist, Christians.
Did you not get enough approval from your mother or something? It's a bit sad that all you know how to do is automatically view any sort of social criticism as somehow playing victim.
you mean the poll that someone hacked and skewed the votes...... yeah right. and we know patria is gay...that's all he ever freakin talks about. talk about someone having a "tic".
Some people might think it was a commentary on your level of annoyingness.
I wear it as a badge of honor, part of the Good Reverend's charm.impdaddy:
The fact that someone would do that is kind of telling.
The Good Rev: He's so awesome that people want to kill him.

I think you bring it up more than I do. I haven't mentioned it outside two or three threads in (gasp) the Sex and Sexuality Forum. I think you're just deeply uncomfortable about anything outside the white male heterosexist culture of Alabama.you mean the poll that someone hacked and skewed the votes...... yeah right. and we know patria is gay...that's all he ever freakin talks about. talk about someone having a "tic".
That's the other thing only extreme social conservatives say.don't care if he's a martian. :shrug:

Oh and one last thing, I argue that I as a tea party member have been treated worse than any gay poster here at DP.
