Are you thinking that of all the religious or just the wack job ultra right thumpers?
No, I actually imagine conservative intelligentsia (a hypothetical I'm willing to entertain at least while talking with you) probably hold nuanced religious beliefs. I think they hold them in such a way as not to impede their economically driven projects. I'm sure there are plenty of the religiously whacked who are conservative politically too, you know the whole 'moral majority' lot.

My beliefs, or lack there of, are specific to me, I'm guessing that are are for you also. In the political liberal arena do you not separate yourself from the herd on some issues? Are all the political liberalists areligious?
Oh sure, I think liberalism has at times edged toward simplistic take-from-the-rich to pay for everything. I'm in favor of a progressive tax and find that entirely fair. But I also think government should seek to establish an environment in which business can flourish. So you need a balance.

Sure would like that to be true of anyone we get as president, wouldn't you?
