Way to live in reality nation.
It's interesting that you think what you post typically makes any sense at all... but the reality is that I find that many "liberals" that I know personally are fairly independent on a variety of issues... including myself... but the typical "conservative" like you tends to toe the line on almost every issue without actually knowing the issue at all. I will agree that there are just as many wackadoos on the left as on the right... however, I find that those on the left are usually educated on the subject... unlike 90% of the "tea party conservatives" I have talked to personally. In general, I find that most self identifying "tea party conservatives" are typically ignorant of anything except for the talking points they have absorbed from their brainwashing masters.

If a liberal calls someone a racist because they have legitimate concerns about Obama and are educated about those concerns... that liberal is guilty of being an idiot... however, if someone can only say "I don't like Obama because <insert a-z talking point>" and won't engage in substantive discussion or educate themselves on the subject... I have found that they usually ARE racists. As a matter of fact, I got in a heated debate with a guy (who turned out to be a city councilman here where I live and an active tea party activist) while I was at the bank down the street from my house where he was going off about how "Obama's buddies at fanny and freddie" caused the financial meltdown... when I showed him how he was wrong and the bank manager even agreed with me... so the dude just yells out "Well... I ain't supportin' a n****r president... ever!".

Tell me a good reason why gay people shouldn't marry... I am waiting.

The death penalty has killed many innocent people... is the punishment worth executing a single innocent person? If you are punishing someone for murder while murdering them... does that make sense? The death penalty is government sanctioned murder... period. It's hypocrisy to say that you are a "good christian" and also support the death penalty when it clearly states "Thou shalt not kill" in the 10 commandments. I am an athiest but I think the death penalty is wrong because it has killed many innocent people.
