A few thoughts.
The country is still split 50-50. No one has 60%. While the evangelicals are about 20% (60 million), they need to plant churches in the northeast if they ever want influence. And most values voters (conservatives, libertarians, evangelicals) have been marginalized by the establishment politicians.
It was clear in 2008 that Obama was allowing people to write their expectations on him. With great expectations comes great disappointment. By 2016 Obama will be more hated than George Bush, especially by democrats. In fact he may well destroy the democrats as a party.
We are going to be weaker as a nation. Our tax rate will go up (wonder if it will be as high as it was in the 1960s when it was 98%). Energy is going to cost more. We may see it unprofitable to use trucks to haul goods. Factories will continue to shut down. And we will see a very smaller military. If we can justify disbanding the military then it is justified that there is no need for private firearms.
I wonder if the grandchildren of the Babyboomers will curse them for the destruction that they have created.
Yes, This ^^^^ But instead as viewing it as 50% rebuke, they will see it as overwhelming support.
So that means that is ok to do goddess worship to include sacrificing infants to the goddess? Or using abortion as a sacriment?
What about all of those religious things banned like murder, rape, theft, lying? Should those laws be gotten rid of as well due to their religious nature?
And This ^^^^
That "If you don't want an abortion, don't get one routine," is so antiquated, now that science has defined that life begins at conception, someone in this country needs to defend the right to life of the most vulnerable among us. Each time a woman has an abortion, so does her baby – and it seems quite unlikely that the baby would choose abortion.
Would you ever say, “If you don’t like child abuse, don’t abuse your child, but if someone else wants to do it, let them?”
That's fine. Can we have some moderation? Aborting a baby that has already been partially born and is completely viable is not abortion in my book. You can call that a moral judgement if you choose. Although I personally do not like abortion I understand that I should not force that opinion on others. So couldn't we meet in the middle somewhere? Does it have to be all abortions all the time?
I personally am against incest, but I don't see why I should force everyone else to be against it as well.
