I see people on DU frequently defend "good" Christians, "good" cops and whatnot on this board as a counterbalance to any kind of criticism of a societal group. It's quite frustrating, which is why I personally don't do it. As I'm not engaging in said behavior, I'm not sure why you are bringing it up as a counter to my argument.

YOU made this a "culture war" issue by making it about how "others" have to adapt to "our" values.... when our values are nearly as sh*tty- if not on paper then in practice.

But by all means, have fun with those broad brushes.
