Is there any chance that conservative Christians will see the light and acknowledge that discrimination against gay and lesbian americans is immoral and should not be tolerated in any way, shape, or form?

If the Bible said it was okay to discriminate against black people would conservatives support that today? I don't think they would. Then why do they continue to use religion to justify discrimination and bigotry against gay and lesbian americans?

Is it the Republicans? the Democrats? is it the elites who have championed free trade and the shipping of jobs overseas?

Are both the Republicans and Democrats equally culpable for allowing the outsourcing of middle class jobs and the decline of the middle class?

Why do ordinary Americans support a party that is devoted specifically to corporate elites? The Republicans just use social issues to divide people. You're never going to be able to stop someone from having an abortion and same-sex marriage should be irrelevant to you because it has no effect on your marriage.

What do the Republicans deliver for people who aren't rich? How does cutting government services help the vast majority if Americans?

Did all of this free trade and job offshoring cause the hollowing out of America's middle class? It seems to benefit corporate elites, but how has it helped the average American? How can American workers compete with workers in third world countries who get paid such low wages?

Why do the republicans keep trying to force spending cuts on the american people? This is a terrible time to cut spending. In a fragile economy why should we be taking stimulus out of the system? We can worry about the deficit later.

The money spent by government can be recovered later through taxation when the economy is in better shape. There is a famous quote in the movie "Wall Street" --- "Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another."

With interest rates being so low, it is a great time for the government to borrow. We should not be cutting spending now. It's not like the money is poured down a rathole never to be seen again. It can be recovered later to pay down the debt. Why are the republicans doing this?

Is it selfishness? Is it an unending lust for the almighty dollar? Is it free markets and free trade? Is it an attitude of "you're on your own" instead of "we're all in this together"?

Is it a lack of empathy for people unlike themselves? Could you shed some light on this for me?

Or do you think they are just fully committed to social darwinism?

Why do conservatives not care about people having the chance to live a good life with a decent job that has a living wage? Why don't they want people to have access to good healthcare? Why don't they want to invest in education? Why do they want to live in such an unequal society with so much poverty? Could somebody please explain why this appeals to people? Is it just greed?
