    please stop calling them that.

    It doesn't help u. esp. as 2 most of u it means any person of faith that isn't completely in the closet about it. (or Muslim).

    You have Barrack Obama's brother living in the slums of Kenya on a buck a day as Barrack/Michelle drove around in a Mercedes thru the slums of chitown and changed NOTHING for the poor home or abroad.

    Jesus,per the Book of Matthew doesn't shine so brightly on that sort of stuff. Whereas all the "fundies" think they're doing is saving life. Whether u agree or not,they r quite sincere about it.

    The Repub moneyboys have capitalized on it politically the most, but that's different.

    As I see it, per these "progressive" men on the board,a "fundie" is someone who gets married, lives in a red state and doesn't take sex vacations to the 3rd world.
