I'll concede that the Democrats might have a better way to fight the Iraq war and war on terrorism, might have a better solution to the immigration problem, might have a better environmental policy, might deal better with import/export issues and might be more fiscally conservative than the Republicans. They are, however, unequivocally wrong about two issues: the advancement of abortion and gay rights. The direction we have taken — and will likely take — regarding these two issues is the kind of stuff that really matters.
