What has America's right wing spooked is how assiduously the Panamanians are working to make the canal--which has always been run on a nonprofit basis--into a cash cow. It is not a new complaint.

...long term, I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to undergo illegal and dangerous operations." Gasp. A statement that wouldn?t arouse much ire with sociologists (or certainly moderate San Franciscans) suddenly had the GOP?s right wing up in arms.
