8. Excellent. So why do we even PPR people here for having "right wing opinions"?

How do we define "right wing opinions" in a way that doesn't violate the beauty and diversity of the Democratic Party?

I mean, really, you can't even find it in you to criticize this idiot Cardinal who has a record of opposing GLBT and women's rights. You think we're not diverse if we have clowns like this in our midst.

If we must have a sectarian prayer opening, why couldn't we ask for a LIBERAL clergyman... or clergywoman? Ah yes, that might not be inclusive of right wing misogynists.
