You seem to be a very retarded, extremely ignorant moron who has been so severely brainwashed that you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground.

Hey sport. Let's get the difference between fascism and corporatism straight.

Under corporatism the big corporations control the government to one extent or another.

Under fascism, the corporations toe the State line, or their leadership is assassinated.

Do you now get the difference.

Tool.

That doesn't reflect the reality of American politics, where traditionalists and neo cons want more state control over sexual behavior.

Who wants control over sexual behavior?

Anyone who would ban pornography, contraception or homosexuality. These positions are uncommon on the left.

Who has suggested banning the latter two? Not sure about pornography but that isn't sexual behavior.

The main use of pornography is sexual behavior. Social conservatives (recently Rick Santorum) wanted it banned. The other two positions have been accepted by most mainstream conservatives, but it is always my hardcore evangelical friends on the right who argue that homosexual behavior and contraceptive use should be banned. I understand that these are fringe right issues, but they certainly aren't left.

I've never heard of either a ban on homosexuality or contraception being seriously considered by anyone. I've avoided the right/left controversy because I don't think it applies to either. I've never heard anything like what you've described. I have seen people contort opposing viewpoints so to fit that description. For example, no one suggested banning contraception during the Obamacare fiasco but that was precisely how it was presented to the overly credulous.

I think that Peter's point was that, from his perspective, statism is left not right. Therefore, state interference in social matters is inherently leftist.

I remember that D. Not forcing insurance to pay for contraception isn't the same as banning contraception, but liberals suggested it was. However I do know some southern baptists and evangelical Christians that believe that contraception should be illegal.

I would not be surprised if that was true. I'll concede the point. Santorum did dance on the edge a bit and probably did not communicate his true beliefs on the matter.
