The difference between Democrats and Republicans?

Hillary Clinton gives a speech in support of international gay rights. Rick Perry makes a YouTube video attacking gays in his own country.

That’s the difference.

There ya go.

No.

That’s the difference between Hillary Clinton and Rick Perry. Lumping perfectly nice, sensible Republican people into the same category as Rick Perry makes you just as big of an idiot as he is. You’d probably do well to remember that.

Nice, sensible Republican people? Wait, I haven’t seen any…

Try again.

You’ve missed my point spectacularly. I didn’t say “nice, sensible Republican presidential candidates”. I said “nice, sensible Republican people”. That is, citizens. Thanks, but I like to think I’m not a homophobic jerk who shoves religion down other people’s throats. I’m Republican and I’m Christian, but I’m actually a really big fan of being reasonable about and respectful of other people and their beliefs. 

Shockingly enough, I’m not alone. Not all Republicans, conservatives, or religious people are jerks, and insulting them as a group based on one man’s idiocy is just highly immature—and highly offensive. I’m tired of opposing groups resorting to making fun of each other. What are we, fourth-graders? Let’s grow up, please.
