Who scares you more?

Moreover, on economics, many Rightists are to the left of the Leftists. I have precious little doubt that when the theocracy is finally established on our shores, its economic policy will be a form of Christian socialism under the mantra "do unto others".

Einie, that's just asinine - there is absolutely nothing but right-wing economics emanating from the religious cabal in the US.

Anyway, obviously there is no left in american politics or even in american society.

There are divisions there. The Christians are not by nature economically conservative; most of the impetus for the so-called 'Progressive' era in the first two decades of the last century came from the northern Baptist churches, for instance. This is also why Bush's "Compassionate Conservatism" played so well with that sort of voter, and one of the several reasons Huckabee's faux-populism caught traction with them. Theirs is an alliance of convenience with the economic Right, and it is a historical novelty - I have no reason to assume this novelty will last much longer, especially as the self-proclaimed 'Religious Left' (who are, in fact, right-winged) rises to prominence.

If the Progressives in this nation were intelligent, and they aren't, they'd reach out to the old 'Rock-Ribbed Republicans' and their like, and propose conservative-progressive solutions to mutual problems, as a means of forcing the theocrats to show their true colors. But they won't.

Yeah, they won't because they're more intelligent than you, and can see that the religious in america are a bunch of economic right-wingers.  And even if they weren't, most progressives fear the advent of full theocracy more than they hate our present plutocracy-with-hints-of-theocracy.
