Projection of personal morals is unacceptable.

As such, they are not as easily roused from sleep. Fundamentalist Christians eagerly desire their own beliefs to be shared, and forced, on others. This election was a moral referendum on our country - and because of the nature of the philosophy's of the opposing groups, the fundamentalists triumphed. And now it is a "mandate".
