When exactly did the right wing goal lose sight of a "small federal government" and replace that idea with a Christian Theocracy? Do they not realize that this is going to cause a huge rift between Americans and cause more domestic unrest than we've seen since the great depression? Why do people overlook the Establishment Clause? Do they think Jesus would want them to force their faith and values on people through political might? Do they not realize that Jesus was martyred because of the political power of a predominant religion?

The voters apparently prefer big government.

Rightwing apparently prefers being in government (and lose the ideology) than sitting outside with their ideology intact. Seems logical enough. Ideology is only for motivating the supporters/donors. It is not for running governments.

The only difference now seems to be the effectiveness of the media. Twenty years ago, the media would have reported that the present government was steadfast in their conservativism (and ignored the facts to the contrary). Living in your small town, you probably wouldn't have known otherwise.
