Calvinist theology and religious culture is very socially conservative, and very fiscally conservative/pro-business, even by conservative Protestant standards. A Dutch Calvinist is more likely to observe the Sabbath (e.g. not go to a restaurant after church), view divorce harshly,  and adhere to free market economics than say, an Scotch-Irish Baptist.

Interesting, thanks.

What do you mean by a pro-business theology?


They love grifters like Trump and Amway.  And white nationalists like Steve King.

I just had a really nice conversation with a friend about how hilariously conservative some Democrats sound when it comes to matters of class now a days.

RINO Tom is like a teacher on summer vacation--No Class!

The Census estimates for the great bastion of the Dutch, Sioux County, is that the county is now 11% Hispanic.  Maybe they're the long lost Mexican Dutch.  Or maybe all those farms should be raided and those King-Trump lickers put in shackles for employing anyone with fake documents. 

I don't see what grifting has to do with class in the sense that you're using it.
