[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2100318, member: 5151"] This. I've met very few voters who weren't completely ignorant of the Constitution, in addition to being completely ignorant of who/what they voted for. Just read the platforms of each Party, if you want. For example, the Oklahoma Republican Party makes shredding the First Amendment the first priority of its [URL="http://www.okgop.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/2012_State_GOP_Platform.pdf"]platform[/URL]. Section I-A takes a position that not only should "non-Biblical" marriage be prohibited (which, by the way, they should really look up Biblical marriage examples), but "Biblical" marriage should be subsidized by the government. According to the OKGOP, non-straight-and-narrow people should not be legally allowed to be teachers, managers of a business where minors are employed, child advocates for the judicial system, etc. And then you get into their desire to censor "undesirable" content.... Also, after reading their platform, I would not feel welcome if I were non-Christian as non-Christian interests are either not mentioned or even expressly derided. The platform's section on Freedom of Religion is much more about Freedom of Christianity than Freedom of Religion or Freedom of Expression. According to many Oklahoma Republicans, if you don't agree with that entire platform without question, you're a RINO. [/QUOTE]
