The Vital Difference

[Ibby]

I've been thinking about this that I said in the Falwell thread quite a bit the past few days, and I think its the closest I've come to adequately explaining why I believe the Republicans, and associated right-wingers (rather than simply being asshole hypocrites) are the biggest threat to American freedom since we were part of the British Empire. Since I have not gotten either of our resident right-wing crazies to respond to it yet...

A right-winger would ban gay sex. A left-winger wouldn't make it mandatory.
A right-winger would ban drugs. A left-winger wouldn't make it mandatory.

That is the difference; that is why right-wingers, all of them, are supporters of totalitarianism, authoritarianism, fascism - and why they are so repulsive to me.
