Who scares you more?

The far Right, easily. There really is no far Left in the United States.

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". So given a choice between an economically socialist and socially liberal Communist State, or an economically socialist and socially fascist Christian theocracy, I'd choose the former every time.

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

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.

Well we all have our idiots (I keep mine in my back pocket) the far right just has more people willing to admit to being far right.

I still don't really understand why it's funny to be libertarian and pro-Isreal, but I suppose that should be left for another thread.  This thread is about making fun of people on the extreme ends of a made up metric and denying the existence of half of them.

Because pro-Israeli intervention is a violation of the principle of the self-sovereignty of peoples - the same argument which you might use against letting the United Nations dictate laws within America's borders is the self-same one to be used against American Zionism. Moreover, our Zionist foreign policy entails the acceptance and promotion of a military-industrial complex larger than every other in the history of the world, paid for by my taxes in the name of a cause I don't support. Let Israel burn if it keeps the State from violating the sanctity of my possessions. 

Not, of course, that you'd understand or accept this, because you aren't a libertarian. But you have to embrace Zionism because it makes your political allies cream their pants, and your entire political raison d'etre is servicing the corrupt fusionist-right establishment with your mouth.
