'What little there is that connects liberty proponents on the Right and justice seekers on the Left is a mutual intolerance. Those in both camps ever more define themselves by their tribal identity.' -EricSondermann
So ends our Pledge of Allegiance. As a statement of aspiration, it shines. As a description of the condition of the nation, it burns a bit less brightly.First off, it must be acknowledged that neither liberty nor justice has ever been equally apportioned. Some Americans have long enjoyed more of each than others.
For Republicans, it is about opportunity, initiative, enterprise, motivation, less government intrusion, and allowing people to keep the fruits of their labor. Add it together and that spells liberty. One is the party of the entrepreneur, the self-made man, and the idea of bootstraps. The other represents the safety net, the so-called common man, and the collective.
Let me submit that there is one other notable commonality between the two parties and two ideologies these days. That shared feature, unbecoming to both, is a growing illiberalism. On both poles, ideological rigidity and conformity have bred an insularity and intolerance that serve neither the interests of liberty nor justice.
