>You would be right. I wouldn't expect something like what I posted from you. But it's what I believe and what I've seen from partisans for decades. Given a choice between pissing off people I respect and what I see as the truth I'll chose the truth. Sorry.

The reason you wouldn't see it from me is that I was raised to believe that characterizing groups rather than individuals is a form is prejudice. It's one thing to say that "the X's I know seem to favor Y" and quite another to make the broad statements ("X's think Y" or "X's do Y") you've been making.
