Actually, the Right has been right a lot. Especially on matters like the importance of a strong national defense, and fiscal responsibility. Unfortunately, the current trend among NeoConservatives is to confuse the terms "strong national defense" with "blank check" and to support way too much power in the hands of the executive branch; particularly when it comes to war powers and domestic surveillance, and torture.

All the Founding Fathers, along with Eisenhower, and Goldwater are spinning in their graves so fast it's amazing we don't have volcanoes in their cemeteries. NeoCons have also replaced the old paradigm of "tax and spend Democrats" with "tax cut and spend Republicans" making the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq the only wars in our nation's history to be "financed" by tax cuts.

Finally, the Republican's have jumped into bed with the most extreme Christian fundamentalists, who have taken every reference to "God" in the Constitution to mean their own narrow and perverted view of Christianity, while ignoring all the writings of the Founding Fathers that expressed deep spiritual values while avoiding sectarian views.
