NanceGreggs: The Republican Christian – a Contradiction in Terms?

[stupidicus]

32. that's been obvious for a very long time

outta the dozens of times I've addressed it, it's mostly been in a "which is worse?" kinda way, them seeing themselves in possession of the moral high ground despite that undeniable (well, to sane/reality-based folks) record, or seeing themselves as the "smartest people" after having been on the wrong side of history and just about every issue of significance, and even in recent times, like global warming, wmds in Iraq, the efficacy of the Bush tax cuts, etc, etc, etc.

Not only are they getting progressively more stupid (or sinful -- however you wanna look at it), they are also getting more immoral/amoral as well.

The simple fact of the matter is, the two things are inextricably intertwined, much like their denials of it and their deflections, projections, scapegoating, etc, are. It's all about ego-preservation and shame avoidance that JC would surely heap upon the denizens of the darkside if he was around today.
