6 Right-Wing Zealots (or Groups of Zealots) That Would Blow Up the World for Political Gain

AlterNet / By Joshua Holland

Toxic right-wingers and their fanatical followers are desperate to ignite a "clash of civilizations."
September 12, 2012 |

"Step back from the news cycle a moment and what you see is a week in which toxic, wildly irresponsible right-wingers have been trying to set a series of fires around the world, stoking their mythical "clash of civilizations" out of religious bigotry or for political gain, or a little bit of both."

1. Who's Gonna Blow Up Your World??

Singer songwriter Tom Russell lives in El Paso. A few years ago he wrote a song Who's Gonna Build Your Wall about the construction of border fences. This information might seem very off topic, but I think there's a connection with some relevant lyrics:

I ain’t got no politics
So don’t lay that rap on me
Left wing, right wing, up wing, down wing
I see strip malls from sea to shining sea

It’s the fat cat white developer
Who’s created this whole damn squall
It’s a pyramid scheme of dirty jobs
And who’s gonna build your wall?

We’ve got fundamentalist Muslims
We’ve got fundamentalist Jews
We’ve got fundamentalist Christians
They‘ll blow the whole thing up for you

But as I travel around this big old world
There’s one thing that I most fear
It’s a white man in a golf shirt
With a cell phone in his ear


Maybe another group of Right-Wing Zealots to add to the list???
