democracy in action? where? certainly not in the states....
in general, conservative politics are about drawing clear lines between inside and outside. the most effiecient means to this end is to posit enemies. "terrorists" in general, gay folk on the "morality" front. that this move leads directly to racism in the first case and homophobia in the second seems to be an outcome that the folk who runs the show in conservativeland seem willing to accept. that they are willing to accept these consequences is a sad sad commentary on the ideology as a whole.
