Shattered Triangle Quotes

“Beginning with Reagan, the term “common good” vanished from the American social and political discourse. Those few—mostly clergy—who used the term were ignored, ridiculed or accused of being communists. No one in political life would take that risk. For in the United States, probably nothing is more detrimental to a politician than to be painted as a socialist. Never mind that most Americans claim the United States is a Christian nation. Never mind that Jesus, himself, was unabashedly socialist. It does not play in the U.S.”
― William P. Messenger, Shattered Triangle
