yes. these two groups are the ones running our government. thanks for the terrifying reminder.
i want the secular left to come out on top (as opposed to the right), but i'm not a big fan of elitism.
i know you're probably referring to a the left in a more social context, but a lot of good things could come with a more blue country. national healthcare and a variety of other social services.... etc. etc. ya know...thinks those moral republicans are against.

I am rooting for the secular left and I think it will win in the long run. But you or I may never see it. Battle to battle in will continue to go back and forth for a few more generations.

I 've been kind of rooting for the sane, rational people. I have not notice any of them in either of the extremes. I started out as a conservative... then i got to the point where I started writing-in Pat Paulsen for President... and I continue to do so, even though he's been dead for the past 10 years. I have not voted for a main-stream candidate for the past 30 years.
"... the American version of representative government assures that such qualities as intellect and ethics as might equip a man to lead a powerful nation responsibly are precisely the qualities that would prevent him from subjecting himself to the debasing performances of vote begging and delegate swapping. It is a truism of American politics that no man who can win elections deserves to." ~Trevanian, "Shibumi"
He's right.

Probably secularism. Despite the link posted above, spirituality does NOT mean people are supporting the conservative religious crowd. This group is beginning to splinter (as most conservative religious groups do) due to one subgroup being more conservative than another and the follow-up in-fighting (for lack of a better term).
Some conservative ministers are condemning the "put the church in the government" thing. They argue it puts God into this world, which is blasphemy since God is not of this world.

The Moral Majority is neither.

Moral majority.
The secular left has had 40 years of failure.

The Moral Majority crypto-fascist Fundies are rapidly in decline. If you lie down with the Bush Administation because he's a "good xtian", then when you awake from your political slumber you will arise with the stink of the d@mn@tion of the Bush Crime Family clinging to you forever. Who would Jesus bomb?....

Whoever wins, they will eventually lose. Cultures and political ideologies are all temporary. Fascism had it's heyday in 40's Europe, but has waned, and now is rising again. Communism rose and fell. Theocracies, democracies, tyrranies and anarchies, all have come and gone. All these things will eventually end when God sets up his kingdom fully and puts an end to all human politics and wars.

That question, besides the War on Terror, is the biggest issue facing America. It has been going on since the 1960's, and has increased in fervor during recent years. I am a Conservative, so I think you can figure out where my allegiances are.

"Secular Left"? Who and when did Secularists get lumped in with the Left? I hate to disappoint you but you have assumed something that is not even close to being valid.
