Meet The Republican Party

I said: "Interesting... A self-proclaimed American conservative -- whose political peers regularly wield the power of Christianity and their version of Bible-defined morality to influence voters -- trashing dogma. Hilarious. Judging from this guy's take on conservatism, the Christian Right are wrong."

Steve responded: "You have lumped all conservatives into one camp, that of the supposed religious right. No such camp exists. All conservatives don't "wield" any such power and everyone who does wield it isn't necessarily a conservative."

Wrong. The Republican Party — America's 'conservative' party out of the two that have any measure of political power — are that camp. They've been playing that dogmatic, religious morality card to accomplish their political goals for quite a while now; they've done quite well with it, I might add. Like it or not, Steve, but the Republicans are waving the conservative flag for you.
