So you are saying that you got repped by good intelligent ppl, while those who repped Blue are bad and stupid. This reminds me of European "liberals" who call themselves the paladins of democracy and tolerance while slamming as idiots, intolerant, not worth of consideration and fascist the tens of millions of people who support their adversaries. This is how "progressive" people accept different views and opinions: in old school communist style. Too bad none ever stick fully to their ideals and go to live in North Korea, Cuba or Venezuela, but i understand that it's easier to be gay with someone else's ass. Vladimir Putin, in comparison, is an amateur.
I hope you didn't strain too much coming to that conclusion. And, I wasn't saying any of that. I was saying that, after taking an unofficial roll call of who frequents the Politics section, and who of those might rep BC for claiming that the Left uses Islam as a check against Christianity, it's not difficult to know where said rep came from. And of that group, I wouldn't necessarily call any of them bad, but a couple of them are pretty fuckin' stupid.
but i understand that it's easier to be gay with someone else's ass.
I haven't the foggiest idea what that means. But I am not gay. I am a Liberal and I support:
Gay marriage, gays in the military and gay rights (read civil rights) across the board
Immigration reform (I would just throw open the borders and let them all in, if I had supreme power)
Abortion rights (in fact, I'm not Pro-Choice. I'm Pro-Abortion. I think there should be much more of it. One could say my lengthy tenure on this board has contributed to that view)
My views on the banks can be summed up in two words: Elizabeth Warren
I'm for affordable healthcare, affordable tuition and affordable housing
I don't know what moving to the countries you mention would have to do with any of that. Especially considering how they treat gays, minorities, immigrants and freedom of expression.
