Reply #159: You have no understanding of

[Yupster]

these fundies that you disrespect so much.

No understanding of poverty?

These people, many of them are poor themselves. They should be good democratic voters except for two things. Their deep belief in the wrongness of abortion, and the contempt that democrats hold them in.

No willingness to work?

Many husbands work themselves to an early grave working three jobs low paying jobs. That so their wife can take care of the seven kids, five of their own and two adopted. The wife may also homeschool the kids, volunteer at the Crisis Pregnancy Center, have 3-4 church events a week and still find the time to protest. There is not much to many fundamentalist families lives except work. The church brings their best social interactions and pleasures. The husband may belong to a prayer group, be on the parrish-relations committee, and play on the basketball team. The kids are all in their youth groups. The woman is in the church woman's group, the worship committee, a prayer group, helps prepare the wednesday evening meal, and volunteers for the church's neighborhood charity.

People of DU. We must understand these people. They are our natural supporters. We offer much to them and they offer much to us. Can we try to not treat them with such hatred.
