But most people on the right, Even many middle class and yes, public union members, that i know in my family and here in Texas do not see themselves as waging war on behalf of the monied (except for the libertarians). They believe they are fighting for something greater and more compelling-God/America and the right wing, social conservative view of god and how it relates to everything. They really do see the USA as a holy land created specifically for and gifted to Christians by god, so god is America and America is god, there is no difference. They have so successfully linked their unique Christian principles with economics (that favors the wealthy few) that you can not separate it from the general right wing social conservative movement.
