"You do realize that not every Republican is a white Evangelical Christian, right?"

Good question, because there is fair amount of intolerance, even disgust, among mainstream Republicans at our lifestyle. The reason is that the issues involved are bigger than us, and our being personally offended at what some small minded people think. *The spread of gay rights in this world depends on the survival of freedom in the United States.* And that freedom is threatened today by nuclear terrorism. The same holds true for all civil rights: racial equality, gender equality, etc. And it has become clear since September 11, 2001 that the Republican party, despite its many flaws, is the only party willing to defend America. True, some other countries have advanced further than us in gay rights, and gay marriage, etc. Canada comes to mind. But remember that without America, those countries would all be ruled by Germany or Russia right now, and the human rights records that would have resulted would have been abysmal. There are, of course, many Democrats, some of them in congress, who enthusiastically defend our nation. But under House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that has not been the position of their party. These two ultra-left liberals have seized every opportunity to blame America, blame the troops, comfort the terrorists, tie the hands of our intelligence agencies, and legislate defeat. Americans must come together. We must stop blaming ourselves. We must drill for our own energy: oil, gas, coal. And we must stop ceding our freedoms to the to that great babysitter known as the federal government.
