Taliban wing of the Republican Party

U.S.: (also: the American Taliban) Used by detractors of the religious right, to associate the social policies favored by parts of the U.S. Republican Party with the radically repressive social policies of the Taliban. The term was less widely used after the September 11, 2001 attacks by Al-Qaeda, when comparisons to the Taliban, with which the United States was soon at war, became more inflammatory, but made a comeback during the U.S. presidential election, 2004.
