With the Kim Davis issue front and center, these are pertinent thoughts: "In the right-wing id, freedom is the emotional release that a hostile and psychologically repressed person feels when he is finally able to lash out at the objects of his resentment. Freedom is his prerogative to rid himself of people who are different, or who unsettle him. Freedom is merging into a like-minded herd. Right-wing alchemy transforms freedom into authoritarianism." http://themoderatevoice.com/208204/the-fundamentalist-mind/
