[quote=Anonymous][quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=Anonymous]This isn't a conservative conundrum, per se, just an issue that exposes that different flavors of conservatives have different views on some particular issues.  Libertarian-leaning conservatives are probably opposed; traditionalist-minded conservatives are probably split, with some disliking government regulation that apparently legitimizes porn with condoms, while others likely pleased that it may damage the porn industry.  Most conservatives probably share the vague sense that this is just the kind of wacky thing that happens on the left coast.  [/quote]
"Conservative" and "Republican" are far too vague now. Economic conservatives like you have almost nothing in common with the yahoos. If Faux weren't telling them to support you, I don't think it would ever hold together. As it is, you have to wonder why you're still in the party - if you are - that starts pointless wars on credit.[/quote]

For someone so obviously intelligent, you need a little bit of recalibration.  There's a substantial grain of truth in most political positions, even those of the "yahoos."  If you don't agree, think hard about the consequences that the removal of traditional social mores have had on lots of people -- is it really so hard to admit that religious traditionalists may have a bit of a point, even if on balance you disagree?  If you are holding any political views with a probability of greater than about 80% certainty or so, you aren't really doing much hard thinking.

While the Republicans clearly paper over some pretty significant divisions within their ranks, it's not so fractious a bunch as the motley assortment of interest groups comprising the Democratic party.  The joys of a two-party system, I suppose.  [/quote]
