Once upon a time, we cared about the welfare of our fellow Americans. Farmers in the Midwest devastated by tornadoes, trailer parks washed away in a Florida hurricane, our country's ranking on various international comparisons -- we all rooted for our fellow Americans. Like all countries, we would squabble, but we were family. We were all Americans.
Not anymore! Now, no one cares about anything but getting rich, the better to separate oneself from the lives and concerns of poorer Americans.
Businessmen, Wall Street bankers, ethnic activists, Democrats and Republicans (including the president, apparently) -- all of them have a stronger fellow feeling toward Saudi princes and German bankers than toward Iowa farmers. Being "inclusive" to "Dreamers" necessarily means being exclusionary toward our own working class.
So what if wages have flatlined -- or declined! -- for several decades? The smart set aren't wage-slaves.
Mexican drug cartels aren't swarming through their towns. They live in fancy neighborhoods.
Somali refugees aren't beating up their kids -- who are safely ensconced in expensive private schools, anyway.

“Judeo/Christian culture was the behavior expected and obeyed in public school.”

Correct.
I taught in a public school——1954-56,and I read Psalm 23 every morning.
39 first graders,no discipline problems at all.

Apparently if they used the words “mother” and “father”, they were instilling Judeo-Christian culture in you.
Ann, there is no “we”.
LOL
I’m not even kidding; it is part of the “white privilege” that Judeo-Christian morality (coupled with the WASP culture) bestows on us.
I’m just a fish unaware of water.
Did you see where Canadian government workers will now stop using those hateful terms (”mother”, “father”)? They are normalizing dysfunction, and outright animal behavior by human adults.
Wall Street versus Main Street: why Donald Trump spends time at 1600.
I dont really know wth shes saying.
Trying to get ahead and making a good living now offend Anns delicate sensibilities? Now that shes loaded, of course.
If the gravamen is that white males are getting a raw deal, Ill gladly stipulate to that.
That wasnt my takeaway, though.
Normally, I find Anns thinking to be razor sharp, this is a muddy admixture.
One would think that a very common sense and ultimately saying argument. So why have we had to fight our government - our own frigging government! - to do something about illegal immigration? For over thirty years!
Annie needs to take another sabbatical from public opining...Lindsey Graham makes a decent sounding statement from time to time too....
