4. I agree..correct order too..
But what puzzles me...The religious right..Their alliances causes them to worship the super rich, when they are not....Just been conned into a blind relationship...Their members will only wake up, when they are homeless....crazy.
But, I do think Right wing religion morphed Christainity from where Jesus forced the money changers out of the temple to one that after the Reformation became the landed gentry, with all those related values.

8. I think there is really only 3.
1) Hawks, these focus on the Neo-Cons but they have dominated the conservatives through appealing to patriotism and religion and through misinformation. To be a patriot you have to favor the military industrial complex over yourself or be accused of lacking patriotism.

2) Big Capital, on two fronts: domestic and international. Big Capital wants free access to undeveloped markets to exploit cheap labor and lack environmental restrictions. They also want to influence the American people to believe in the capital-aristocracy's dogma instead of their own interests. Anti-tax libertarians are merely an outgrowth of the capital culture.

3) The Religious Right, The people who have placed primitive tribal ideals above their own self interest and the interests of society. The Religious Right makes up the worst parts of organized religion like the corporate elite make up the worst of civil society. The anti-choice movement is an outgrowth of this movement.

Gun Nuts are an outgrowth of the Liberal nature of the country. You will have more freedoms thus placing us the burden of legislation and regulation which gives birth to Anti-Gun nuts. Having a realistic plan that both sides will do a lot to help us in the south west and prairie.
