The frenzied pace of the mind inside the cell

I hate that people insist that I must vote for the Left because I am "pro-higher taxes" or not interested in smaller government or against any other plank that the Right swears it is about. Or that because one party says it is "for" something like "smaller government" that means that the other party must be against it - that is just idiotic, binary thinking used to keep people arguing by focusing on what value the other party is (supposedly) trying to take away from you.

I am simply (and vehemently) anti-political-party-ramming-religious-doctrine-down-my-throat. And always will be.
The Right has clearly banked on serving the whacko religious voters to win elections, which is why it will never have my vote.
That seems pretty clear and straightforward.
It is also incredibly clear (beyond the need to even argue the point) that The Right is doing precisely that - from Planned Parenthood to gay marriage, they have a clear agenda guided by religious doctrine that has nothing to do with jobs, national security, fiscal responsibility or anything else.

Do not try and tell me that my voting against putting a cult in charge of the government is the same thing as wanting socialist redistribution of wealth or wanting higher taxes.

It's not even close to apples-to-apples.
It's not even apples-to-oranges.
It's more like apples-to-guy wrapped in dynamite.

Saying they are the same - or that being against one makes someone in favor of the other makes you look stupid and gullible. Please stop. Before I have to punch you in the neck.

I like to punch people in the neck too. Well said, and way to stand up for what you believe in! Better then most people in the world who flop all over. ^^
