Nota,
I think you are correct, there are groups such as the Christan right that want too much authority over individual choice and liberty. I feel the popular concept of extreme political correctness, overwhelmingly supported by the left, and the hordes of professional victims that have been spawned are just as bad. Nether should have a place in our government. I would be very happy if I never heard from Pat Robertson or Al Sharpton again (fat chance).
I will point out though, Sharpton and his cronies feel much more entitled to the earnings of the productive people in our society. The left openly acknowledges that the more people they can get on social programs the deeper their vote pool will be.
These are splinter issues, I feel BV's original statement is very true of the big picture.
