Perhaps the most important activity by the New Right during the 1970s was the effort to organize the political restlessness of Christian evangelicals (especially in the late 1970s).
The New Religious Right, which took conservative stands on all issues, was distinct for its emphasis on moral traditionalism characteristic of evangelicals and fundamentalists since the early twentieth century.
Though the New Right was instrumental in forming and organizing the New Religious Right, they already grew from an existing dense organizational infrastructure of an evangelical and fundamentalist subculture.

 The New Right by J. David Lewis -- Capitalism Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
When the socialist assault began, the right became the opposition, facing a tide of motivated leftists who claimed that science and history were on their side.
Morally, they accepted the righteousness of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” a corollary of “give unto the poor.” Coming to see the welfare state as an irrevocable fact of nature, they acted pragmatically.

 What Is the "New Right"
Bryant is using the term "New Right," not as an aid to understanding, but as a convenient catch-all for all the opponents of the "United Teaching Profession."

Another important feature of the New Left program was the advocacy of "participatory democracy." The formulation of this concept was an attempt to reconcile the contradictory aims of an all powerful state and a responsive state.
The New Left reached the height of its appeal by misrepresenting its goals as libertarian, and it began to decline as soon as its totalitarian nature became evident.

One of the main Protestant accusations against Roman Catholicism was that it was a disguised paganism (with its worship of Mary and the Saints, its sumptuous churches, and its religious icons and relics).

And, although the states rights revolt at the 1948 Democratic National Convention had demonstrated the capacity of the civil rights issue to draw southern whites away from a Democratic allegiance, the partisan impact of that controversy was checked by the similarity of the Democratic and Republican positions until the 1960s.
The Christian Coalition framed school prayer as a student's right to pray or to free speech, and abortion became a civil rights issue involving the rights of the unborn (Moen 1994, 167).

Thanks to the New Right, the "people's right to know" -- which the establishment media pay loud lip-service to, when it serves their own purposes -- finally became a reality.
In the first place, all the New Right has done is copy the success of the old left.

But the Right now has embraced a more insidious form of permissiveness that is creating an “anything goes” moral culture.
The elements of this new permissiveness are the bad apple theory and the idea that reliance on a “higher authority” eliminates the need for moral judgments.
Hence, the right’s misguided celebration of greed produces an “anything goes” economy in which both individuals and firms increasingly take immoral and illegal shortcuts to riches.

 ScienceDaily: Was Orton Right? New Study Examines How The Brain Works In Reading; Offers Key To Better Understanding ...
In 1925 Dr. Samuel Orton, a clinician and prominent dyslexia researcher, hypothesized that normally developing readers suppress the visual images reported by the right hemisphere of the brain because these images could potentially interfere with input from the left.
Supporting Orton's theory, the fMRI scans showed that young children who were just learning to read used the left temporal regions of their brains; increases in age and the associated gains in reading, was characterized by a suppression of the visual areas of the right hemisphere.
