I don't GET that they are for war and for the death penalty, and anti-abortion. It is not a consistent stand given the issues, certainly. But, then, I am of the Seamless Garden variety, too.

I don't think that demonizing them really helps your position, however. And it is polarizing. Plus, I don't think that you are correct. These people really believe that life begins at conception, but they also believe in a lot of crap regarding "pull yourselves up by your bootstraps," etc. The two ideologies can and do co-exist.
