the ones who scream freedom the most, are the ones who want to take it away from the rest of us.

freedom for religious people and institutions to impose their beliefs on others is consistent if nothing else.

if their religious supporters demanded virgin sacrifices they'd defend that as "religious freedom" as well....

Right-wingers only consider themselves to be real people.

Minorities understand "freedom" as being included. Majorities don't have to fight for their own place, so they fight to take away anybody else's place.

I don't think so.

The OP referred to right-wing obnoxious Christians who attempt to impose their faith on all of society.

If you seperate out the atheists, agnostics, apathetic, tolerantly religious Christians, Jews, Muslims and every other variant, the hard-core imposers are not a majority.

Oh please, somebody had to say it...

A militant mind-set contributes to a zero-sum game way of thinking.

Any "victory" by another religious group is seen as an encroachment upon their own.

Well said.

Thanks for the thread, doxydad.

Religion in general tends to be selfish and if you combine that with a right-wing philosophy you get trouble.

They think that they have a special connection to the alleged creator of it all. Many of their internal thoughts they interpret as voices from the alleged creator. And through religious brain washing they think much less of people that they perceive as being different than them.

Right-wingers in general often can't relate to others as being like them. Others are more of a threat.
