I've seen frequent vauge swipes at what you now idenfity as half of Americans. I've seen some general indicators, but you offer exceptions to each indicator. They are: 1) Republican 2) Southerner 3) NASCAR fan 4) Evangelical Christian. Well, I haven't seen exceptions to the 3rd, come to think of it, so that technically remains open....but I don't really think you believe in turning left as a cult. :-) One of the reasons that I would appreciate clarification is that I know a number of nice, generally reasonable people who fit all four criteria. Many of them have fairly complex reasons for what they believe. Extensive discussions over many years with people who differ with because they are fundamentalists, for example, makes me appreciate the subtly of their position. If you clarify your position I should be able to determine if I misunderstood your position, or if we have some very fundamental differences.
