Reply #168: They Vote, Or Voted, Democrat, Sir [View All]

How, then, do they fit into your's?

The fact is that members of the "Rapture Right" are not going to vote for left or progressive candidates, since their religious convictions teach them to associate such persons with sexual immorality, a thing they consider the sole proper focus of moral concern. Nothing can be done about this; it is a given of the situation, like the location of hills and sloughs on a potential field of battle.

Do not imagine, Sir, that political battle is solely a process of making nice and not offending; it is far from that. The key to the process is choosing whom to offend, and selecting targets for demonization that a great many people will agree, if pressed, are wierd, wrong, sick, evil, or otherwise unfit for consideration as members of a group one wants to associate oneself with. The "Rapture Right" is an excellent target, and will be assailed by any left or progressive person with the least interest in defeating the extreme elements of reaction currently in sharge of our nation's national government.
