If those are the priorities of the right, they are poorly reflected in their actions.
Here in Canada, we have a government that is de-funding useful research programs, muzzling scientists, attempted to repeal banking regulations until the crisis hit (and then took credit for these same regulations keeping our economy from completely going down the toiltet), cutting education funding, reducing the government's ability to gather information about the populace so that informed decisions can be made...it's a long list.
In America, the right seems terribly interested in enacting policies that increase economic inequality, reduce oversight of corporations and generally make it easier for those with power and money to exploit everything around them.
You don't need anyone to tell you this, it's relatively obvious.
