Quote:It’s Ayn Rand’s America now: Republicans have stripped the country of its last shred of morality
Quote:America is in moral crisis. Many Americans seem far more interested in making sure that those they consider undeserving - basically, the poor - get nothing than in making sure that they themselves get something.
Quote:There were three farmers: a German, a Hungarian and an American. Each had a cow. One day, misfortune befell them, and their cows died. Each remonstrated against God, saying God had failed him, and each lost faith. God realized he had to do something to make amends. So he came to Earth and approached the German.
"What can I do to restore your faith?" He asked. And the German answered, "God, I lost my cow. Please give me another cow." And God did so.
"What can I do to restore your faith?" He asked the Hungarian. And the Hungarian answered, "God, I lost my cow. Please give me that cow and another to compensate." And God did so.
And finally God came to the American, and He asked, "What can I do to restore your faith?" And the American answered, "God, I lost my cow. Shoot my neighbor's cow."
Republicans brought us here with the assistance of a passive media. Whether we can bring ourselves back is the new existential question. Until then, we are shooting our neighbor's cow.
