Government=bad. Private enterprise=good. Regulations=bad. Profit=good. American=good. Foreign=bad. Christian=good. Other religions=bad.

Sometimes those equivalences aren't as absolute as simple-minded folk want to believe. Sometimes truth lies in the middle. Sometimes it's good to mix things up a little. Sometimes it's good to think a little bit harder.
