The cauldron is what has him voting for people he knows to be liars and fakes.
I don't think homosexuality or flag burning has any business on anyone's religious/political agenda. I don't think there should be any such thing as a religious/political agenda. I think the country would be better off separating the two.

Yes, I do vote for politicians I know to be liars and fakes. I would venture that you do too. We all do. That is what politics and leadership have degenerated to in this country, with the lock our two major parties have on us. I would dearly love to see both of them losing ground until we no longer are left to choose between two flavors of liars and fakes.
Does anyone honestly believe that Democrats who support gay marriage for political gain are above joking about gays? Does anyone believe that "green" liberal candidates do not joke about "tree huggers" and other environmental zealots, then take off in their private jets to get picked up by a huge motorcade to be transported to their big corporate welfare lobbying dinner? C'mon; all of Washington is tainted by such hypocrits. They are not the sole province of the right, and certainly not constrained as fundementalist Christians. They come from all walks, representing all interests in public and deriding them in private.
Rodeo, you are once again displaying your blind faith in your side. Life must be pretty simple when left is always good and right is always bad; much less though required to get through your day. The rest of us see the shades of gray on both sides and try to deal evenly with them. Try it sometime, unless you really think your head will explode or something.
