Right Wingers would scream if we tried to bring 'balance' to the Institutions they controlled
Take schools for example, Right Wingers are always trying to bring 'balance' to it with things such as the ill-named "Academic Bill of Rights."

Then there is public broadcasting, the Right Wing sometimes launches battles against that.

What institutions does the Right Wing control?

I say it's time to launch a campaign to bring 'balance', or sometimes actual balance, to those facets of society.

Take organized religion and mega-churches for one. How do you think the Right would respond if a liberal version of the Institute on Religion and Democracy was formed?

hat else do you think we could do? If anything, there should be a campaign to demonstrate how the Right Wing takes politics to the extreme and tries to push Liberals out of everything.

2. No ... they wouldn't back down ... they'd become David Koresh
(pre-self-inflicted burns) saying that Satan was working through the liberals to destroy God ...
