hmmmmmmm does that sound racist
But it seems that in America it is not just religion, but all the other stuff that goes along with it. I know I'm treading not too carefully thro' a mine field of generalizations, but one can say that the American CHRISTIAN voter will support the military and any war the country is involved in (and I don't think this is the same as supporting the troops, in the sense that one can and should do this without necessarily supporting a particular military adventure), oppose abortion, gay marriage, health care, gun control. And, of course, be a firm believer in Manifest Destiny, General Motors, and the almost divinity of Elvis.
