This while Judeo-Christian concepts and symbols of God are banned, in fact actively driven, from the public square.   This while those whose (self-perceived) superiority allows them to live either without God or with a vague concept of a god who wouldn’t dream of imposing rules of behavior on them rejoice in His banishment from American society.

Yeah.  It’s made this country SO much better.

  3. I don't disagree - I do agree - but I still believe that's what they'd >tell< you ... and maybe even believe of themselves.

    But partially in their defense(?? a rationalization - not defense), they were raised on "You deserve..." and "It's your right" and "It's not your fault"

  4. @quizikle - Thanks for clarifying. And in turn, I agree with you - raised on entitlement and a lack of consequences for actions.
