Flag burner?
Atheist?
Pot smoker?
Definitely not from the religious or conservative right, that's for sure.
Plus there's plenty of folks on the right who think that the flag should burn because America died, or so goes the logic, "when the ethnics and gays and non-some-specific-Christian-denomination folks showed up and got rights."
And all those guys who think they can cecede their little strip of land from the US and got the guns to enforce it? Like the group above, they're idiots. A lot of Christian, a lot of them are right wingers.
Obviously the real problem is anger, ignorance, and stupidity. For my money, I find that anger is a frequent aspect of right/christian social and political speech. And America is being ripped apart by one side vilifying the other - I find that the right tends to scream loudest, harshest, and longest in that regard.
I don't think everyone on the right wants an anarchist state or hates gay folks. I don't think everyone on the left is above corporate corruption or self-serving political machinations.
If we'd been this polarized in the 1700's, the British would've walked all over us, and we'd be Lower Canada. At least we'd all have health care and would enjoy soccer, like all other nationalities.
