Over the last decade or so on the Internet and extant also in FOX News programming the most conservative-minded have tried to outline not just the most liberal-minded Americans but also the centrists among us as espousing unAmerican ideals. It has been a most disconcerting trend which seems to be exascerbating a growing rift of thought in the country.

That’s the silliest thing I’ve heard for a long time … and an insult to those who were personally affected by the terrible events of 11 September 2001.

Ah yes … FOX News … which should perhaps be called ‘FOX Opinion’ instead.
This ‘self-reliance’ stuff is flawed rhetoric. Maybe an issue in western (and other) societies is too little regard for personal responsibility, but personal responsibility is not the same thing as self-reliance: the former involves both a proper understanding of one’s own limitations and a proper appreciation of how others’ well-being is dependent on our own conduct.
Would the US jobless rate be any lower under a Republican administration? Would the US economy be performing better now if McCain had won the 2008 election? Was it not President Bush who did the lion’s share of that ‘seemingly-no-strings-attached’ bank bail-out (that has always puzzled me – collectively, UK taxpayer now have large equity stakes, which will in time be sold to provide tens of billions for the UK Exchequer, in any UK bank that was bailed out)? The western current socio-economic malaise transcends party politics, and no amount of narrow party-politicking will make things any better.
