I thought it was just Bush, but now I'm beginning to think that they are ALL unaware of this little clause called, like, SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. It's scary. I know intelligent Republicans, and then there are those like my grandmother and my former co-worker who stun me with the way they spew narrow-minded, xenophobic rhetoric. I mean, these are intelligent people. Usually. I swear, Fox News puts out waves. It dumbs people down. It's the only explanation.
Example: abortion. I'm well-aware that my (personal) pro-life stance is due to my religious upbringing, and since I don't think that religion should interfere with government decisions, I'm politically pro-choice. Exactly. While I would never personally choose abortion, I would never say to any of my fellow women that my choice is the only right choice.
