CONFESSIONS OF A CULTURAL ELITIST

[Nym90]

I hate to say it, and I'm probably going to alienate mostly everyone by sticking to this position, but this is not helping to solve the problem.

Agreed. Elitism is bad. Advocating your positions is good, but no one should feel that they are better than anyone else.

I hate to say things like this, but it is people like you who buy into this crap that make people believe that the majority of Democrats are against family values, morals, the kinds of things the vast majority of Americans -- southerners, westerners, and yankees -- take seriously.

I AM against all those things - 'family values', 'morals', etc.  What a bunch of intolerant, pointless, controlling, stultifying garbage.

I'm not against those things, but I am getting fed up with the idea that Democrats need to quote scripture every five minutes in order to win an election.  Why is it that morals and values are somehow incompatible with secularism?

Agreed, Democrats tend to just not like to talk about their faith as publically; they feel that it should be between themselves and their Creator and that they don't want to impose it on others. Seems reasonable to me.
