It seem that it is easier for you to think that i am being condecending than for you to examine the hypocracy in the Republican party. Perhaps it would be more clear to you if I said "I am aware of the diversity of the people who consider themselves Republican, however the Republican politicians who do not appear to be as significantly diverse." You could easily argue that the Democratic politicians do the same things as their Republican counterparts (look at porn, have out of wedlock children and affairs, swear, whatever) but the difference is they have not run campaigns on morality and declared themselves winners of a mandate because of their higher moral ground. The fact remains that a fairly significant part of the general agenda of the elected republicans is creating legislation around what they believe is moral. if you vote Republican, as you have every right to do, just know that you are shooting yourself in the foot if you also support free speech, privacy, pornography etcetera.
As far as the latter part of your statment, it is a spurrius, silly comparison because greenpeace and PETA are not elected officials and a fringe element at that. They do not impact my life through legislation (sure they may annoy me with their late night ads) they will not impact my rights as an american citizen.
