Right. And THAT could be anyone from any school of political ideology. Take stubborn intransigence, the belief that ones ideas are the "The word of God", or the "True American Way", mix in a love for violent force, (Guns and all things military, anyone?), and you have the recipe for some serious ugliness.

It doesn't have to be "leftist" or "rightist" ideology that drives it.

Once one gets into the realm of Orwellian face-stomping-for-its-own-sake, the flavor of lying propaganda stories told in support of it becomes utterly unimportant.
