While that seems true, and probably how Hitler came to power in a highly authoritarian culture, it is, imo, over intellectualizing the difference between liberal and right wing thinking.

FOX and MSNBC show the differenes perfectly, and the difference is simply one of intellectual sophistication e.g. Beck and Palin versus Olberman and Maddow.

>>Would You Slap Your Father? If So, You’re a Liberal
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
If you want to tell whether someone is conservative or liberal, what are a couple of completely nonpolitical questions that will give a good clue?

How’s this: Would you be willing to slap your father in the face, with his permission, as part of a comedy skit?

And, second: Does it disgust you to touch the faucet in a public restroom?

Studies suggest that conservatives are more often distressed by actions that seem disrespectful of authority, such as slapping Dad. Liberals don’t worry as long as Dad has given permission.>>
