Abstract:
Intolerant activists are determined to impose their moralistic views on all Americans, regardless of the consequences for civil liberties. These well-organized zealots are a dominant force in one of American's major political practices. They have already achieved many legislative victories, especially at the local level, where they often wield disproportionate power.
