Alan: I have long considered "greed" the deadly sin that afflicts American conservatives with greatest disproportion. I have changed my mind. Now I believe that the pathognomic sin of American conservatives is wrath. Almost exclusively, wrathful people are conservatives. Remarkably, the sinfulness of this behavior does not even on right-wing radar. Instead wrath -- especially "the wrath of (a putatively loving) God smiting the ungodly" -- is a virtue.
A "virtue" at whose altar conservatives prostrate themselves.
"You can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out God hates all the same people you do."
