I'll retact that. It certainly was not intended for you personally. If you took it that way, I apologize.

My statement was simply that the Christian Right is a minority, and almost certainly a permanent minority, of American society. It does, though, seriously offend another, apparently larger minority- -maybe even a majority.
To the point where they will vote for people such as Clinton and Gore rather than for a candidate they perceive as under the control of, or oweing to, the Christian Right.

Most of the time I am one of them. I thought long and hard before voting for Bush because of this. I simply could not tolerate one of Clinton's buddies, though. Had the Dems run someone less associated with that sleazy scumbag, he almost certainly would have gotten my vote.

And something else I wish to say:

I sincerely wish the US Supreme COurt had never made the Roe v. Wade decision and simply left things alone. It has polluted the public debate as nothing else in the last century or likely in this one.

They had invent their reasons in any case. I have yet to see a copy of the US Constitution that includes a right to privacy. And even if it was enumerated, it's a stretch taking that to Roe v. Wade anyway.

Judicial legislating at its worst.
