The Hypocisy of the supposedly ultra-tolerant DUers

Whether or not one chooses to believe in God should not be treated with the disdain those that do believe.

To suggest that anyone who believes in God is an ignorant boob only reinforces middle america's view of Democrats in general... that we are both areligious and amoral with its power centers in Boston and San Francisco rather than Indianapolis, Denver and Atlanta

I realize that the wingnuts have made conservatism a litmus test for Christianity. Its very sad and certainly pharasaical. But that is hardly enough reason to call all that choose to believe in a higher power: ignoranant.

I trust that we will be a little more open to varying views on faith and morality than the fundies: lest we confirm in words and deed what they say about us.

Perhaps you do not care: I do.

And like it or not Middle America does. And if you want to win elections. you need to be more tolerant of people who do not think like you.
