Surf,
I believe your view (and many others on this board) is a tad myopic because of your need to caricaturize (is that a word?) all republican/conservatives as knuckling dragging troglodytes from bum rush junction, TN who only have sexy time with their cousins.
Now , there are certainly a cohort of bible thumpers in the R party, but according to the NY Times exit polls, in the suburbs, Romney won the vote 50% to 48%:

Honestly, how is religious freedom under attack? I mean I'm as conservative as anyone, but how is religious freedom under attack. I'm guessing the majority of suburbanites that voted for Romney probably don't believe that either.
As to Iran, those who are old enough to remember the Cuban Missile Crisis remember how a true believer (Castro) was willing and rooting to "take one for the team" of worldwide socialism and damn near started WWIII:

It is hardly irrational to be concerned men of the 8th century running a nuclear armed country might pose a serious problem , especially when every 3rd Tuesday their titular leader says something witty about wiping you know who with 200 nukes off the face of the earth.
Also, I don't get the oppressing minorities thing.
