agenda and it has nothing to do with religion. It has everything to do with race. These old white men have always dealt with people that look like them. If Hillary would've won they would have been a similar situation because they cannot see themselves subordinate to women.

1. Not completely
I'm not denying there's some discomfort from the good ol' boys sector about letting a black(even only partially!) fella get the keys to the kingdom, but the religious angst is entirely sociological and conservative more than racial - there was the same communion denying and Armageddon prohesying about Kerry.

2. I can't agree...
I think it's all about foisting their religious beliefs on the citizenry of the USA. Race has nothing to do with homosexuality. Race has nothing to do with the oppression of women.

It's all about forcing their chosen mythology onto the rest of us. Something their God doesn't want, if you believe the fables.

3. It is political. This is the base of the republican party.

5. The agenda isn't hidden at all. They want $$$
The more people you can scare into your pews, the more cash you can get in your coffers.
