Opie highlights just one of the many things that the common voter does not see when they look at the Bush campaign. I think that until some of you conservatives realize that you are not just a citizen of the United States, but that you are also a citizen of the entire earth, things will continue down this absurd self-righteous path. This is it. This is all we have. The surface of the Earth, and right here and now.
I make these blanket statements because I believe them to be true: Conservatives seek to contain culture into a narrow spectrum, free of deviations, easily managed, and efficient. This view only translates well on a small section of a population. If you try to apply it to the entire world (read: current US foreign policy) shit is gonna erupt.
In conclusion, while you may like the decisions the republicans make for you here at home, they are fucking the world equilibrium. Add to that Bush's crusade motives and then you can probably see why liberals are ripping their hair out.
