Do you think American Politics and Social thought are too Absolute?
From my perspective American Politics seems very absolute.
For example, Gay Marriage shouldn’t be allowed because then Polygamy or Polygyny can use the same excuse.
At the onset of the Iraq war some European States were called cowards or enemies because they didn’t back the US.
And finally, the two party system where if you’re republican you think of small government oppose abortion and socially conservative. Where the democrats are big government, socially liberal and have protectionist tendencies.
Do you think America is absolutist in this regard, and if so or not why is this a good/bad thing?
Nationalism and absolutism are dangerous. It was very unAmerican of Bush and cronies to exploit world wide goodwill to further their agenda. Being smart about not entering an illegal and immoral war does not make a country cowardly.
The Republicans only became involved in social issues under Reagan, who saw he could attract more votes by pandering to the religious right. Now the Republican Party is stuck with the James Dobsons and John Hagees.
Democrats have some very strong fiscal hawks, known as Blue Dogs. They are quite concerned about our out of control borrow and spending.
