"political ideologies are ideologies, not facts, and because there's two different slants built in, there's never going to be agreement on everything"

@Mike... You are a true idealist. I see no "progressive activism" in anything you just said, God bless you. You really do seem to just want everyone to get along..... However, even and especially as a Christian I must ask you, do you believe it's possible? You see, as a "Constitutional Conservative" I hold dear to my equal rights as an American citizen to freedom, liberty, justice, freedom to worship, freedom to pursue happiness...... But as a Christian I fully realize and respect where these concepts originate from. At the very beginning of the Bible we are taught that tyranny is the enemy of freedom and will always take full advantage of the naive, the complacent, and those with more heart to forgive than fight. The Bible teaches there are only two kinds of people, those who serve a higher calling, and those who only serve themselves.... And no man can serve two masters. So you see, to ignore the demands of a minority that wants more than what is already Constitutionally given is no sin... The Bible also plainly illustrates that every house divided will surely fall. You're right to wish for something that everyone can agree upon, support and defend.... Our forefathers always intended for that to be our Constitution. However, no political party like today’s "progressive liberal socialist democrats" have ever been more anti-constitutional.
