Theocons

One interesting, and not so bad, thing about the Great Recession and the rise of the Teabaggers is that the "social issues" have sort of fallen by the wayside. It's not that I agree with Republicans on economic issues, but I feel I can discuss these issues with them and we can have substantive debates. That's really not the case with abortion, prayer in school, or they gay stuff. There just isn't much room for give and take.

However, I never believed the folks who got off on those sorts of issues went away. They're still around, waiting in the wings to piss me off.
