I agree with the first, not the second. I'm fairly liberal in general,
but I think there's a bit too much of a push in both the liberal and
conservative directions; 'merika's become really polarized it seems.
When it comes to kids and family I firmly believe conservative is
best, mainly because my parents were relatively conservative and I
think they did a fine job raising me, so I'll follow in their
footsteps. I think the biggest 'church and state' issue is the push to
make gay marriage illegal. For religious reasons I think it's immoral
and wrong; but I can't think of a single reason that it should be
illegal.

I don't mind a religiously moral president. What bothers me is that GW
doesn't go far beyond 'right' and 'wrong'; he doesn't allow for much
of a gray area.
