Adherents of the new religious right reject the separation of politics and religion, but they bring no spiritual insights to politics.
From Christopher Lasch
Conservatives have no understanding of modern capitalism. They have a distorted understanding of the traditional values they claim to defend.
Today Americans are overcome not by the sense of endless possibility but by the banality of the social order they have erected against it.
George Orwell's contention was that it is a sure sign of trouble when things can no longer be called by their right names and described in plain, forthright speech.
Most people no longer live in nuclear families at all.
The family wage has been eroded by the same developments that have promoted consumerism as a way of life.
The model of ownership, in a society organized round mass consumption, is addiction.
Personal disintegration remains always an imminent danger.
The same historical development that turned the citizen into a client transformed the worker from a producer into a consumer.
The attempt to redefine the family as a purely voluntary arrangement grows out of the modern delusion that people can keep all their options open all the time.
