Playing on ignorance, the 'Right' has focused fear and hate upon minority groups to attract allegiance. Hitler targeted Jews, Southern Segregationists targeted Blacks and Middle Eastern Islamic Militant Groups targeted non-Muslims. Typical of right-wingers, George Bush has rallied support for his 'Neo-Con' war regime by fostering fears of terrorism as well as rousing fears and hatred of gays by demonizing and undercutting them. In addition to pressing for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, George Bush has authorized firing gay government employees for just being gay and removing tens of thousands of gay soldiers from the military, necessitating the call-up of veterans. Bigots over time have usually found vindication from some sort of religious dogma which is true for today's Republican Religious Right. They point to Biblical condemnations of homosexuals while hypocritically ignoring scriptures denouncing usurers (bankers) and public prayer. Unfortunately for them, the U.S. is not a theocracy and enjoys the separation of church and state. The 'gay bashing' of George Bush is clearly a violation of civil and human rights and jeopardizes the rights of all minorities.
