The US, as a whole, is probably marginally center/right.

The libertarian types, including most of the Tea Party supporters, while vocal and potentially influential, are far from a sizable force.

The hypocrisy is directed more at the more mainstream fiscal conservatives/neo-cons fearing anything involving the government...unless its torturing potential enemies and stepping on other constitutional rights in the name of national security.

more on Iraq irony....its interesting that the Iraq constitution guarantees all those rights....with the exception of a guaranteed right to bear arms (probably makes sense in light of the potential instability of a legally armed populace).
