"Just the WOD people. No price is too great to pay, no loss of liberty too extreme, to fight the WOD in their minds. I flatly don't understand the WOD mindset, but I see no real difference between it (the WOD mindset) and the anti-gunner mindset

Consider that a majority of the conservative base is rooted in Judeo-Christian ethics. Now ask, would Christ sooner be anti-gun, or anti-drug? Probably the latter ("Let him carry a sword"), considering the Old Testament's stance against drunkenness.

Christ didn't oppose slavery either. Was he on the South's side in the civil war? I believe it was Frank Buchman, a noted and highly influential Lutheran evangalist, that proclaimed Adolph Hitler to be Christ's answer to Communism back in the '30s.

I find it more personally productive to try to be on God's side than to try to invoke him to being on my side. And I don't see the WOD as being at all Godly in nature.
