Thankfully, the Religious Right doesn't seem to have the same power and sway that they did in the eighties and early 90's. It seems that the northeastern/Rockafeller/socialist-lite republicans have taken over in lockstep with the imperialist neocons.

The days of Robert Taft/Barry Goldwater conservatism died around 1964 with his defeat. That was pure, traditional conservatism -- actually bordering on libertarianism (my political philosophy).

There is no greater domestic threat to individual freedom than the Religious Right. At their core, they are nothing more than Authoritarians, and they can go straight to hell as far as I'm concerned.
