***** The primary fight is between the rule of law, democratic process... And the rule of force, war, guns, military power, financial power. In fact: Most importantly, most fundamentally... the right wingers (irrespective of religion, nationality, race...) have selected opposition to the process of democracy and rule by law. Presumably they feel more certain of defeat with the rule of law and democratic process than the with rule of force. Think is real. Think gun zealots. Think religious fundamentalists. Think capitalists.... and the Liberals: think academic prowess, ability to outscore others on tests, superior ability to win employment....

Dire warning to those that think that the right-wing reactionary reversals we are seeing today, like that mentioned below, those who think this is an aberration, please heed the following: I too was clueless that we could go so radically backward.

That is exactly what we see repeating itself now and the evil is just as likely to prevail now as it did then.
