They sure did. It all started when democrats wanted to play fair, and then lost out on opportunity when republicans went nuclear. I hate how it has to be that way, but us democrats need to be aggressive and not passive anymore. No more fucking around.

I disagree with the use of "Christian Right" in the headline. This isn't really about religion. These positions have been GOP positions for a long time.

Affirmative action itself was racist by definition, because it discriminated solely based on skin color. It needed to go. There are problems with certain minorities making it into higher education, but that can be solved by changing how taxes are distributed to schools, not by letting unqualified people into college programs.

Student loan forgiveness was a joke from the start. If you didn't want to pay back the loans, you shouldn't have taken them. If the issue is the cost of higher education, then we should focus on passing legislation restricting the amount that can be charged for college tuition.

Regarding the cake issue, you can't compel speech, and last I checked, art was considered speech. So, decorating a cake in a specific way is speech that can't be compelled. This isn't 1850. There's more than one baker in town. If you don't like the policies of a particular bakery, go to the next one. The hyperbolic responses about "No Jews allowed" is ridiculous, because that would be religious discrimination, which is a separate issue. Also, it seems a little wild to accuse the Christian Right of not supporting Jews (Israel).

More like the Christian WRONG.

I hear water makes things wet too. Oh, and the sky is made of air!
