As a rule, right-wingers aren't wired correctly and they're getting creepier. For about twenty years, their primary motivation has been fear. In fact, I'm convinced the whole Tea Party movement grew out of the sudden realization that Ns were running loose in the White House. That was too much change and too scary for people who label themselves as 'conservative.'
In places where right-wingers make up the political majority, like Texas and the U.S. House of Representatives, we'll apparently be seeing a lot of time wasted on symbolic gestures like voter ID laws that won't solve any problems but will appeal to gullible voters who worry about Mexicans taking over. The following excerpt from a reader comment says it all:
"If our government fails to protect our borders and our lives, then aren't we allowed as citizens to protect, in every remaining legal way possible, our voting rights and other eroding freedoms and benefits ?"
