No, I don't know jack squat about you. There's room for both of us in the conservative movement, but you seem embarrassed and wanting to exclude folks that get up off the pew and do some hand raising. That's not for me personally but I don't have any problems with it.
Nor do I think waving a Christian flag, singing "Onward Christian Soldiers," wearing fatigues, or doing a drill team routine is a pathology.
That anyone suggest it is child abuse is silly - and reflective of, yes, what used to be known as a "country club republicanism." I've heard Hillary has a good plan about villages raising kids. Maybe you'd like to check up on me and see how I treat my kids or my cat?
We talk about taxes sometimes. And I teach them there is a right and wrong. Sometimes we even run a lemonade stand (yes - the city is upset about that). We even pray for our soldiers. Oh, travesty of travesties.
Pardon me while I laugh. I'm definately not averse to "hand-waving." I am opposed, however, to Christian madrassas.
