The leading religion in America is not evangelical Christianity, it is the worship of unearned riches, and its golden rule is the belief that is is possible to get something for nothing.
The most amazing thing about 21st century American politics is that today’s liberals have become so conservative– railing on about fiscal restraint and sacrifice and self-sufficiency and the moral imperatives of responsibility for each other and for the planet– while the “conservatives” have become wild-eyed, immature, selfish, naive, believing-in-magic, gimmie-a-free-ride radicals.
The stereotypical personalities of these ends of the political spectrum seems to have flipped completely over the last 30 years. I’m still not sure why.
