it occurs to me that the conservative right wing wants a dictator. They don't want a president, they don't want a democracy, they want a unitary dictator who presides over all things moral. They don't really care about the issues - health care, social security, economy - America would be a paradise if only we had a stong arm of morals to enfore all of their values - Chrisitan of course.
My prof showed two graphs today, the result of a few polls done - about 65-70 % of Americans believe that the Federal Gov't is too powerful but the second poll showed that about the same percent, if not more - wanted their government to uphold morals and values more than they wanted a protection of rights. Someone please explain to me why you would give a government that is too powerful more control over morals? The right doesn't want a president - they want a Pope. It just baffles me.
