So, yes, there are a few "gay extremists" and a few "feminazis" - which has nothing to do with what the vast majority want - equal pay for equal work and the same rights for gay couples as for straight couples. On the other hand, social conservatism cuts across a fairly wide swath of the right wing and, by its very nature, is intolerant of diversity.

Things have just gotten so outta hand with the right, and it all began with Bush Jr's first term, too. By the end of his second term, we could really see it, and then this great acceleration of it went from the last 2 months of 2008 to present day. And this "great acceleration" I speak of is really also the course the right has taken where they've gone into a steep decline (AKA gone very corrupt and batshit crazy).
Is "RINO" an acronym?
