Not all right wingers are either of those things, and that is not what I think. If you think it is tacit, then I should clarify. My bad.
What I do think, is that when people start making the case for right-wing ideology, it almost invariably has to start leaving out important infomration needed to make good decisions. This selectivization of the facts piles up to the point where it starts becoming lies of omission.
There is a gulf between making a case for something, and doing so in an intellectually honest manner.
I don't think all people who hold right-wing ideologies tend to be devoid of pragmatism.
Crud... times up. More later.
