12. What I have a problem with is the inconsistency.

It's OK for you to justify certain actions or policies because of your faith, so why isn't it OK for Randall Terry and Fred Phelps to do the same?

Yes, I know, you think you escape this problem by labeling YOUR faith (and your faith alone) as "authentic" Christianity, but that's exactly what Terry and Phelps would say about theirs.

And so it goes. You guys trying to out-scream each other about who really knows what Jesus wants, and the rest of us trying to point this out but getting slapped down by both sides.

As your daughter has suggested, perhaps you are carrying water for the Republicans by trying to discourage progressive secular leftists and driving a wedge in the Democratic party. Hmmm.
