  Fabio, the masquerade is over. Come out and fess up to what you are: a liberal. Stop trying to fake everyone out and claim that you are basically a libertarian, because next to nothing you write exudes libertarian ideals. As for anyone who actually toiled through Fabio's posts, be sure to read my post below on "abortion" and "gay marriage" and the 2004 presidential election. Fabio does not argue any specifics but rather pontificates in vague generalities before taking the leap of faith to tell people that they should vote for John "Whiskey Dick" Kerry. My post, on the other hand, expresses the nuances of two specific issues. Fabio denouncing the "relgious right" only demonstrates Fabio's anxiety toward anything religious. The Republican party is not controlled by the "religious right" anyway, but instead by the "rational right" that rejects the irrationality of the left.
As for the influence of religion on politics, any sect of Christianity splits more evenly Republican and Democratic than does Judaism, but does Fabio translate that constituency into a license to call them the "religous left"? No, he sure does not. His "corporate welfare" charge is unsubstantiated garbage and claims that the Democrats are "open" are false. But since he did little to reinforce his remarks, I will save those topics for another day.
