They want you to think they are the liberally minded, rights oriented class... regarding LGBTs, Abortion and Pot, until you break out a Marlboro (i.e. Sanders) or give KoolAid (i.e. Bloomberg) to the neighborhood kiddos... oh... and what about guns?

BOTH sides are consistently inconsistent.

Pretty much.

If I had taken on the role as progressive liberalism's apologist, that's how I would try to frame the argument as well....since liberalism has no common sense arguments to put forth.

Case in point: men who 'self identify' as women are allowed to shower with actual women!  ;)
 
Traditional marriage being promoted by Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich.

Do Rush or Newt push anything down our collective throats?
No, because they do not have the power or position to do such.
Institutional Liberalism does that every day.

And, I love Rush!  :)

Follow the thought.

Consistently inconsistent.

If I took that to its logical conclusion, any authority/influential  figure would be labeled inconsistent...including parents.
 
This is the end result of progressive liberalism:

But we know Trump will represent the party that magnifies marriage! He should have experience after his third try!

Just a thought...Sander's being the extreme, but overall the democrats who want control over our lives and make us dependent on the government for everything are totalitarian by both definition and necessity!

Both major parties want control, not just the Dems. The NC law is just another red flag, not particularly in the bathroom issue, but in the way the state limited local governing bodies to make local decisions and opened up discrimination by allowing people to be fired for being old or gay. What the Republicans are doing is giving extraordinary freedoms to Big Biz so Big Biz can line their pocketbooks in exchange for power. Then they use the media to whine when Big Biz decides to go cultural (Target).

In a democracy, the cultural majority should determine the laws being made. Localities should have a voice if not the choice in matters that aren't interwoven with other states' rights. The government was set up for cultural rule so if the culture deteriorates, that is how the government should be set up. We aren't set up to have a dictator or dictatorial party rule, benevolent or evil. So we have means by which we can protest. I'm OK with people boycotting Target if it violates their principles. Just don't expect everyone else's to conform.

Both sides are dictatorial in intent.

First, I'm glad I'm not a part of either party and have not been for over 30 years.  Secondly, I don't expect everyone else to conform to what I choose to do, but I do expect professing Christians to stand up for what is morally & biblically right...but hey that's just me!

So I take it you are for gun control, anti-capital punishment and anti-war. Cool! :)

(My point is some of us are standing for our morality and what we believe God intended to be biblical, but we disagree on how that exactly plays out. Don't assume a single hermeneutic position should control governmental legislation.)

No, pro 2nd Ammendment...pro capital punishment for capital crimes & when it comes to war, I take the "just war" position (knowing that not all wars fought fit that category).

If ones hermeneutics place them opposite of biblical truth, then they are being driven by the flesh rather than the Spirit...and from an honest biblical evaluation, that is clear to see.
