My only "religious and racial view" is that I want everybody to be treated equally, regardless of race or religion. Yes, I do want to push that view on everybody.

Life is like a Hot Wheels car. Sometimes it goes behind the couch and you can't find it.

Evidence?

Do you have any evidence to support that assertion?

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Liberals are not imposing their values on you. They don't want your values imposed on everyone. ie. You should have the freedom to not visit the neighborhood liquorstore on the fine Sunday, but don't tell me I can't.
I wouldn't try. I like upstate Bully Hill and Johnson Estate semi dry. The wine, a Rolling Rock Pale beer a day and a shot of gin or whiskey on occasion help to keep my aged veins clean and gladden the heart, as King David suggested in Psalms 104.
I don't like beer and liquor laws any more than Jesus would who drank wine wisely and modrately and who miraculously produced the best of for a wedding feast.

Would that your colleagues felt the same way.
Many of them feel that if they are called to rub blue mud in their navals on alternate Thursdays, then the rest of us should do so as well. And too many of them want to use the government to enforce their beliefs.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Liberals like our founders...

Yes, liberals like John Adams, American patriot extraordinaire:
"The part I took in defense of captain Preston and the soldiers, procured me anxiety, and obloquy enough. It was, however, one of the most gallant, generous, manly and disinterested actions of my whole life, and one of the best pieces of service I ever rendered my country. Judgment of death against those soldiers would have been as foul a stain upon this country as the executions of the Quakers or witches, anciently.
These were English soldiers who shot down five unarmed colonials who were throwing stones and snowballs: kinda like an intifada. It was also before we had a Constitution requiring the protection of minorities (whether political or religious--we had to wait a fair long time for the racial and gender protections).
Would you vote for that Constitution today, Buz?
Captain Preston and six of his men were acquitted. Two were convicted of manslaughter and branded on their thumbs.

Have you ever been to an American wedding? Where's the vodka? Where's the marinated herring?!
-Gogol Bordello
