When I hear "cultural conservative," when referring to a southern Republican, this is what I think of. Which makes it even more important that we don't try to attract these people in order to build our party.

1. I'm living in fear, and a lot of curiosity -----

I think the upcoming campaign between Obama and McSenile is going to show us the ugliest side of America - the racist side. I think it's going to be brutal, and I, in a really twisted way, can't wait to see it. I think it's going to provide an opening for a peek at how we've not really made all that much progress in civil rights since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I think we're going to see and hear some things we might not believe, but I think it's always best to let people be heard so that we know exactly who and what they are. Their freedom of speech is important. And we'll know where they are, so they we can do an end run around them.

I also think that Obama is going to handle it all brilliantly.

I believe.

2. Yup....The ugliest of the ugly is going to bubble up.....And perhaps that's a good thing.

It will force the country to deal with it.....And probably really galvanize Obama's younger supporters, who are absolutely sick and tired of this bullshit.
