The attempt to reinstate alcohol prohibition "at the margins," instead of an outright ban like the failed eighteenth amendment, is one of those peculiar movements that has brought together the oddest of allies: the politically correct left and fundamentalists in what is called the "religious right."

They have different motives, to be sure, but their goals are the same: make alcohol consumption increasingly expensive, "shameful" in public, and a "disease" if imbibed in any amount in private. And they are winning, "at the margins," surely and steadily.

These two groups also get together in the anti Porn movement. Jerry Farwell and Gloria Steinem want the exact same thing on that score.

I have stated many times on FR that the loony left and righteous right are equally dangerous to our freedoms. Both want to use government guns to enforce their preferred morality and both feel emotionally satisfied when successful.

Your post was spot on.
