i believe the founding fathers did that by creating both a congress and a senate. it was called the great compromise.

Regarding #19 (drag queen parades vs nativity):
This is a subject which has seen a lot of press in Massachusetts in recent years, so I can attest to the fact that the premise is 100% correct.

Liberals in my state have pushed to allow gay marchers (i.e. demonstrators) in otherwise sexually neutral parades. The most well known is the Boston St Patricks day parade.
It seems that the "gay right" groups felt jilted because there was no exclusively gay group dancing down the streets along with the firefighters and elves.

On the flip side, certain towns who have had privately funded large scale nativity scenes each Christmas season on public common grounds have been told "no more". Even though the last few years had the Jewish Star of David proudly displayed, and there was no attempts to squelch anybody else's efforts to erect their own tasteful holiday symbols.

Now, I ask you honestly: Was the influence to force sexuality on a parade and to take offense to an age old tradition initiated by a conservative republican or a liberal democrat?

They bitch because they can.
