For this reason I think politics is just another type of religion. You've got yours. I've got mine. And everyone else has theirs. And different political sects condemn the other political sects. Same, same, as religion ; very tribal (that still lingers on from our past primitive tribal days ; very primate like ; no divinity in it).

I don't hide my faith or my views. I grew up a Kennedy democrat in the union town of Cleveland. I was Catholic, just like everyone else I knew. I was against the Republicans because they were the "party of the rich," and because Nixon was a liar, or so I was told by everyone around me.

Then Roe v. Wade got dumped on us, and all my Catholic, democratic, and "liberal" friends and family rejected it. It was murder. Murder of unborn, helpless, innocent victims. How could the Democrats espouse that? What else are they capable of? Moral, decent folks don't murder babies.

My point is simple. The Democrats continually push the envelope of morality. They force their people to make constant changes in the wrong direction. Most older Democrats felt their party left them long ago. The new chair of the DNC has established a party platform that would never support a pro-life candidate. How could any God-fearing person accept that?

The main stream media has followed the liberal cause at every step. Anyone who disagrees with them is vulnerable to their abuse. Everything is so out of balance. Anyone disagreeing is labeled a phobic and their words tagged as hate speech. Just an example concerning Hollywood -- recently Tim Allen's sitcom, the second highest rated, was canceled abruptly without warning. It made no sense. The reason? It was learned that Allen attended Trump's inauguration. So much for freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of action.

My question to you is this: Who's "religion" is intolerant? The conservatives or the liberals? Which side is whipping their adherents into a feverous frenzy? Which side has the violent fringe, subject to manipulation? Which side is promoting freedom and civil discourse?
