Also has a paralell condition you might be thinking of known as RWC (right wing conservatism).
That article seemed to display much more sympoms of RWC..though it should be noted that oddly enough all the associated conditions are the same.
On a slightly more serious note, does anyone else find is amusing that many Republicans profess to be for less government? This may or may not be a national thing, but a lot of them around here say that then propose laws to increase government in pretty frivlous ways. Ex: a favorite is laws that legislate "Christian" ideas in a "secular" way. The most current example is a bill to force businesses to close on Sundays.

Those would be hard-line religious conservatives, and do not represnt Republicans in general in any way. Most Republicans are for less government, period. Most Republicans are not very religious at all. Do tree-hugging hippies represent all Democrats? No, I didn't think so. Don't define the majority by a small and extremely vocal minority.

Excuse me? Just because the majority of US citizens are Christian or Christian-influenced does not mean that the US is a fundamentalist Christian state.
