Are there no liberal gun-rights supporters?

Real, you wrote to bbaerst,I disagree. He's been up-front from the start, and this is "predominantly conservative territory," only in the sense that a lot of the members are self-described conservatives. I've not seen a "political test" for membership at THR.

Perhaps you have been beguiled. Contrast the first posts with the last. I am all for debate, but there is none when persuasion is not a possibility and the only affect is to cause discord. Therefore we discuss gun issues on THR, not on DU.

I do not intend any ad hominem. I am just calling it as I see it, and am willing to back down depending upon the response.

Oh, now I understand! How could I have been so foolish? I always thought it was supposed to work in the opposite direction. I thought they were supposed to earn your trust first, then you vote for them.

If I was a silly idealist, I might vote for some candidate with less than 1% of the vote, which is a small step above writing in my own name.

Thanks for explaining faith-based politics to me.
