Teabaggers are so in touch with the public!

And there's an even greater gulf between Democratic partisans and the general public on affirmative action.  Your point?

As well as a greater rift between hard-left progressives -- like the kind who support slavery mandatory national service -- and the public.

Umm, it's the right wing who usually support conscription

Most cases I can think of its more often the left supporting conscription. Lincoln, Wilson, FDR (started the first peacetime draft), LBJ.

Here are a few other countries with conscription:
Bolivia
Moldova
China
Russia
Venezuela
Pretty much all of N. Africa
Brazil
Vietnam

There are some right-wing countries that use conscription, but they are in the minority. 

Who includes Lincoln or Wilson on the "left wing"? Or most of Northern Africa, Brazil, or Russia for that matter.

Ok, ignore the others for a moment, please explain how Wilson was right-wing? And please do not just say because he was racist.

Wilson was both an enemy of the radical left and a conciliator to it at the same time. A staunch social conservative and a stark raving populist at the same time.

I wouldn't call him right-wing either, since I don't subscribe to the popular version of the right-left bit of fun, but its really just a question of what sort of model for the right-left dichotomy you are using. The typical one in use by rightists today ignores too much of the actual origins of the dichotomy.
