For instance, quite a few synagogues are in that style.

Like Sullivan’s entire Trig Truther theory is built around the idea that conservatives would never accept a vice president whose daughter got knocked up. Which is kind of dispelled by the fact that later the same daughter got knocked up for real, and we didn’t get offended. And even non-Trig-Truthers seemed to think this was something that would bother conservatives. Um, no. Or we were supposed to be offended that two daughters, Piper and Willow were named after TV witches. Forget the factual stupidity of claiming that she named her daughters after characters who were not even on the air before those children were born, are they under the impression that no conservatives watch Buffy or Charmed? (Yes, I am sad to say I know which exact shows they are referring to, thanks to my wife’s viewing preferences.) Seriously do they think we are conservative or Amish?<br /><br />So the left is busy claiming that the objection to the ground zero mosque is Islamic hatred (despite the fact that in fact several Muslims have voiced agreement with the opposition to the GZM). And TPM finds a minaret in a GOP thing which is evidence that the GOP doesn’t hate all mosques. That could have led them to reexamine their biases. Instead they just go, “ZOMG, what are those redneck bigots going to think of this?”<br /><br />And you notice that conservatives very rarely play that game. I would say the big exception to that is wondering why lefties aren’t more opposed to the Taliban and AQ. But to be blunt, that is based on straightforward discussions of stated beliefs. Like liberals are for gay rights. The Taliban literally murdered gay people for being gay. Liberals are for equality between the sexes and well, do I even have to finish that sentence? I mean that doesn’t take a wild attempt to read their culture. You take what they have literally said and apply it.A.W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10876021589516844048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-66813089151039185322010-08-11T12:00:48.209-04:002010-08-11T12:00:48.209-04:00Yikes!
