Aren't my guns, my beliefs, my hiring practices, my health care, my welfare, my thoughts my buisness? Or because I might offend someone, it becomes your buisness too right?

Edit: Ha! Just thought of another one. What about Queen Clinton and her crusade against sex in games? Does that not interfere with something we all enjoy? Let me enjoy what I want, when I want.

If you can't see the difference, then I'm probably wasting my time here, but I'll give it a shot:

Gun control is more of a 2nd amendment, perceived threat issue with the Democrats. To them it is a public safety issue.

I don't see the Dems telling you what you have to believe. You are about 12 years too late on "Political Correctness"--talk about a stale issue! The Dems do focus on non-hostile work place type issues. That's what happens when your party disproportionately represents minorities and women compared with the white male domination of the GOP. Yes, some of that does become other people's business when you offend them in public in various ways. To make an analogy in GOP parlance, if somebody choses to have whatever type of sex out on the sidewalk, it is no longer a "private" issue that they are having sex...see the comparison?

Health care. God forbid that you should be *forced* to have access to affordable health care. Oh the tyranny of it, those b******s! The Sun might stop shining, the ground open up and swallow us all whole. If you are lucky, your employer will offer decent health care coverage, it is getting rarer these days, and far more costly than a few years ago. Ok, if you are single, problematic if you decide to get married and/or have kids. Darn, now we are into REAL family values territory aren't we?

Welfare. Again, God forbid their should be a safety net. Instead we should try to be more like 3rd world countries, right? Still not sure how this is a "private" issue???

Diversity is good, affirmitive action is not. Side note: Part of that is diversity in thought...something conservative business leaders don't seem to understand or appreciate it least in the industries I work with. They try to squash that out...and that messy creativity that comes with it, so hard to manage. It's funny the sort of monoculture they try to create. They are succeeding as the diverse and creative types are fleeing the field. Don't worry, your expressed political views will fit right in with the current business culture.

Hillary. Taking notes from Tipper I suppose. All politicians all go on moral crusades at times. Afterall, the GOP has been winning with their "family values" mantra.
