Time for my daily fix.

As far as Republicanism?

If it looks like a fish and smells like a fish then it is a fish. A Libertarian for instance is just a Republican without Religion.

That is certainly an interesting generalization. Those who know my Posts from other threads know that I strongly believe in Christianity and yes, I am a registered Republican.

Oddly, though, I know many people who are more fervently Republican than I am, who want nothing to do with Christianity. I also know many Democrats who are as strong or stronger than I in their Christian beliefs. And certainly Fyron, whom you accuse of Republican views would reject the idea of religion (I don't mean to speak for you Fyron, but I think I am safe in this statement ). I know Republicans who are opposed to the war and Democrats that would have rather nuked Iraq than invade.

Generalizing people and their beliefs, and putting them in categories is dangerous business. You will quickly find that people do not fit well into categories. Trying to put them there is demeaning to them. If you would truly be informed, as you say you wish to be, listen to what all people say, and do not mock them if you don't agree with them. They may be wrong, or they may be right, let time sort it out.

Nor do I disagree with all of your concerns, especially about the Shi'ites in Iraq, and North Korea's nukes. Where we disagree is in our evaluation of the administration's ability to handle those difficult concerns. Only time will tell who is right.
