There has _always_ been a proportion of the u.s. public, say 1/3, who shared or were open to the views now embodied in the political groupings you name. The difference is _not_ that those views have become more popular or stronger, but that a substantial portion of the ruling class has found use in them, and the remainder of the ruling class has not particularly objected. Were it not for this ruling-class support neither Israeli lobby nor rapturist xtians would be wielding significant political influence.
Neither anti-evolutionary nor anti-abortion forces would be significant were it not for such nourishment from ruling class elements, in particular newspaper, tv, & radio owners. Clearly Kerry, H. Clinton, & other scoundrels are quite ready to tolerate, even actively encourage, these forces.
Incidentally, those on the left who accuse the DP of cowardice, stupidity, etc. are contributing to the power of the right. The DP leadership are neither opportunistic nor cowardly, they are principled and courageous in their political positions. The _believe_ in imperialism abroad and repression at home, and would far rather lose elections than in any way endanger these policies.
