- Well, insofar as he's a religious conservative, wouldn't you say that
- he meets the 2 basic criteria?
-
- >I am an Episcopalian, am I a member of the religious right?
-
- You're a "Republican Extraordinaire" and you have to ask that question?
-
- >Is everyone who has a religion a member of the relgious right?
-
- Not me. But it seems like nobody bothers come up with names for
- moderate left-wing Taoists, so I slip through the cracks (a typical Taoist
- type of thing to do).
-
- >At times, it seems so.
-
- And at other times not. Honestly, (IMHO of course) I don't believe that
- the term "religious right" is very meaningful since it obviously includes
- a lot of people of whom the only thing they can all be said to hold in
- common is that they believe in some sort of diety.

- >Jennifer, "let's get a LITTLE more accurate with those Subject: lines, eh?"
-
- You seem to have gotten the impression that Subject: lines are supposed
- to have something to do with the contents of the articles to which they're
- attached. Wrongo. In actual fact they're intended to allow incessant
- abortion-related posts to continue to slip past everyone's kill files.
- Sorry I had to be the one to tell you...
