Why does the left fear the so called "religious right?" It's easy to understand. For decades the left has used their near total control over academia, Hollywood, the news media and government bureaucracy to enforce a liberal theocracy that has been successful in defining how Americans think about government, the economy, the environment all the while limiting how conservatives and especially Christian conservatives would participate.
Sure, some leftie will point out that there is a Bob Jones University, a Fox News and "Passion of the Christ" in movie theaters. But for every Christian college there are a dozen Duke universities where conservatives are actively discriminated against on the faculty and where Palestinian homicide bombers killing babies on buses are praised openly as Freedom fighters. For every Fox News there are a dozen New York Times. For every film like "Passion" there are a HUNDRED Hollywood productions celebrating liberal values. Do I even need to mention "Fahrenheit 9/11?"
And yet... in the face of that overwhelming lefty advantage... Republicans win more and more at the ballot box.
As I said in an earlier post: Affirmative Action... I'm For It! It's time to realize the full power of repeated Republican election victories and demand that all the above institutions demonstrate a commitment to intellectual and political diversity as well as the basic fairness that lefties screech about more often than they squawk "Halliburton."
I'm a conservative, not a "bible thumper" by any means... but not at all afraid of the participation of the religious right in American politics. Christian conservatives deserve a place at the table just as much as every whacko leftie organization.
What lefties fear, more than any Christian domination of government is the balancing of power and resources that naturally occur as conservatives continue to institutionalize their election mandated government authority. A purview that was previously under the exclusive control of the left... That's the real reason lefties fear the right... We won... We're tired of putting up with leftie garbage and being asked to pay for it... Time for some diversity pal!
