I agreed with Sexton’s and Goldberg’s overall analysis, but think that they did not discuss the underlying cause of the ingratitude. That cause is the Leftists’ inordinate sense of self and their out-sized sinful pride. That is what causes them to be ungrateful. Their self-centered ego makes them think that they are entitled to more than what they have been given, and so they are ungrateful. They do not believe in the fallenness of mankind, and especially not of themselves being fallen, sinful, corruptible individuals.
Leftism, at its heart, is the denial of God. Man puts himself on God’s throne and then destruction is inevitable.

Agreed. But I think it goes further, in their hearts of cloven-hoofed hearts they know they’ll never get what they feel entitled to. Who can ascend to that level of worthiness.
God, but they have no God, and they not only don’t believe but hate your God. They hate anything that diminishes their glory. So they become God.
If the snail-darter fish is becoming extinct, then God has failed in their warped minds. But they can save it. All they have to do is join a group on Facebook. And if children are hungry just make a banner of “Feed The Children”. Then just sit back, smirk and revel in righteousness.
If only God knew how easy it is.
