Jake of Clubns says: "The problem with these people, like UP, is that while they are more accepted now, it isn't enough, they will only be satisfied when everyone behaves just like them. Look at his response, criticizing everyone that does not fit into his ideal of a good life, i.e. Christian Conservatism."

Yes, that's called witnessing. If your neighbor's house was on fire, you'd try to pull him out, right?

Not all of us pledge our lives to staying as close to the middle as possible.

The best was when Amy was prego with baby #1 and he had his beeper. Well, it turns out she actually had contractions Saturday night and got some drugs to delay it. It isn't bad to delay it, but they why FIGJAM milked the beeper thing was ridiculous. It was Amy who delayed it and I am sure that she would want him to win and do everything she could to put it off, all that is fine but don't make such a big deal about it.

The point Tony made 3 years ago and was refuted by the Under Par was correct. What UP fails to see is the change in our culture where the heart on their sleeve evangelical Christian is no longer marginalized. For example, Jimmy Carter was a bit of an over the top Christian in his day but now that isn't even considered. For example, people can say they believe in creationism without being laughed out of the room.

The problem with these people, like UP, is that while they are more accepted now, it isn't enough, they will only be satisfied when everyone behaves just like them. Look at his response, criticizing everyone that does not fit into his ideal of a good life, i.e. Christian Conservatism. They have the whole thing worked out, because as soon as you criticize that particular behavior, they claim you are criticizing their religion and you are automatically the jerk. Or you can try the use Bible quotes against them and they will say you can't be a "Cut and Paste Evangelist" or that you can't take one line out of the Bible you have to read it all (although miraculously when they are doing it it is fine!)

Nice reporting Al...you're another man making a living "talking" about the work/accomplishments other men/women make...while doing nothing yourself. Mr. Mickelson is a great golfer. No, he doesn't come over to my house for dinner...but I recognize and applaude his efforts.

You're wrong RonMon. Did you actually visit any of the websites you listed? I did. None of them are as pretentious as Mickelson's. Why don't you do some research first next time?

Tony,

I'm awake (even at 3:00 AM). Tony, yes, we are a nation divided, but the divide isn't holy rollers vs. liberals. Rather, it's moderately conservative vs. liberals. Do you think that "red" America is a place where piety reigns supreme? Please. They're immersing themselves in the same decadent culture as everyone else.

I truly wish I could say it was otherwise, I really do. But it's not.

Wake up Under-Par,

In case you haven't noticed, we are a country divided. I think you have noticed--liberal vs conservative; red states vs. blue states; Fox News vs all other media...and so on. A familiar refrain that excuses scrutiny for anything is "I wanted to spend time with my family". Phil has marched that to the bank with endorsers like Ford. It's PC!

Tony,

Please, there is no prevailing "Christian, family values culture" in our country; we're as decadent and liberal as can be. How many more "Gay Pride" parades and condoms on cucumbers in schools is it going to take for you to realize that?

If you like the leftist paradigm and libertine mores that have become the norm, that's your business. But please don't try to tell me that I'm living in a Christian theocracy when liberalism holds sway at every turn. Sheesh!
