In order of importance from least to most:
The obnoxious attitude that the government and everybody (else) owes them a living. This is best exemplified by the innumerable labor-, teacher-, government-sector unions, the AARP, etc.
The sense of absolute entitlement to government office ("We wuz robbed!", "Florida!", "Ohio!", "Gregoire!")
Using the judiciary to implement perverse social changes (Abington School District vs. Schempp, 1963)
The paranoid hatred of the big business in particular and their suspicion towards the free market economic system in general, the greatest engine of general prosperity ever devised by man.
The diffident and irresponsible attitude towards national security, as though the United States is morally unworthy to wage wars or maintain a first-class military
Dude, I could hardly have said it better myself. Well done.
Thanks! 'Preciate it!
Maintaining intellectual (and emotional) honesty doesn't mean being degenerating to a hacking trollery...
