The American "Right Wingers" are entirely incomprehensible to me. They also have nothing to do with the America I got to know, but I was mostly in contact with scientists and other university folks and aside from student exchanges and visits in Florida in the 80s and California in the 90s I lived in Hawaii - not exactly the mid west. But why can't these people just happily live their lives and let others live theirs?? Why do they constantly have to HATE someone - or something? Why can't these mostly christians follow a bit the examples of the spiritual teacher they so claim to adore? It would require a mental breakeup in me to somehow merge guns and hate and the good Jesus Christ in a single ideology. As a European I find all this very, very disturbing.
