Let us briefly run through the politics of the religious right, just so the comparison will be fresh in our memory. Christian conservatives believe firmly in God, country, and family. Self-sufficiency and rugged individualism are highly esteemed qualities; people should pull themselves up their own bootstraps. Becoming rich is a keen goal and almost universally admired. Taxes are seen as a curse. Social programs for the poor are a waste of tax-payers' money, and the sort of people on those programs are lazy and given to crime. As for criminals, they should feel the full force of the law, and that goes for international criminals as well. A nation should deal with its enemies from a position of strength, and should never be afraid to let them feel the full force of its military might. Guns are good, sex is bad.
