Nice to know they take politics seriously beyond their own ranting and raving.

The only thing I'll add to this is the notion of class one and class two disagreements. A class one disagreement is one in which one side cannot explain the other's position to the other's satisfaction. A class two disagreement is one in which this doesn't happen, and is a real genuine parting of ways.

Until we understand what fundamentalism really is, and respect the real definition, rather than making our own rage-soaked one, our conflicts with the religious right will remain to some extent class one disagreements, and further, the right's leadership will continue to take advantage of the fact that we make it a class one disagreement in efforts to mobilize them against us under the pretext that we're being unfair.
