181. LOL well that is only sort of true
Edited on Mon Nov-26-07 07:42 AM by Perky
I would add the term uppity in front of atheists as well.

ANd I want their votes to...but the pooint was not that they were Atheist or GLBT, it was becuase they wre su uppity and offended or "scared" that Obama would reach out to Evangelicals.

But the truth is That I could care less about an an individuals sezual or religious preferences. It just irritates me when the defaut position of some those who choose to disgree with Obama's inclusiveness on matter of faith is anger, fear, deep suspicion and the like. GLBT and Atheists who automatically recoil at Obama's reaching out to Evangelicals (not fundies, but evangelicals)..are politically myopic IMHO. They are no more or no less important to the political process. Why should Obama have to kowtow to any group by avoiding another?

I feel preciesly the same way about uppity Chrisitians. Democrats can have a permanent majprityu in thios country only when we strech out our tent pegs to include those we disgree with on onew or two issues because we agreeon about 50 others.
