No, plain and simple. The essence of egalitarianist liberalism is that all people are inherently equal in all aspects. This doesn't mean they conduct themselves in equal manners or that all behavior, actions, or even ideas are equal. It simply means that nothing is out of hand worse than anything of similar creation before inspection. The fact of the matter is, I can be better than some evangelical Christians, I am smarter than some evangelical Christians, and I did cast my vote with more concern than some evangelical Christians. Its not scapegoating to emphasize the fact that the influx of evangelism in this country has a direct correlation to the election of republican leaders nor is it scapegoating or in any way discriminating to point out that the contradictions in evangelical belief and their tendency to vote republican. Similarly, these points have been made about Hispanic-Americans, African-Americans, and even women during every election cycle for the last 6 decades! Anyone who wants to de-emphasize the roll of evanglistic Christians in this election is ignorant or in denial of the facts. Furthermore, anyone who wants to claim this is exclusionary and unique behavior on the part of librals is a hypocrit. This attack is nothing more than reactionary and completely in the spirit of the last 4 years of sore winner's syndrome.
