fervent rightwing Americans ...
The British writer Christopher Hitchens ...
Hitchens is " fervent rightwing ..."
Wow.
From the May 22, 2006 interview with Christopher Hitchens in the Western Standard....
"Becoming an outlaw in today's world does not require that Hitchens actively seek to break laws, but simply that he remain the same, while governments pass laws forcing change by criminalizing formerly acceptable behavior."
I don't think of that as right wing, but I guess the nanny staters do.
