You Hear That Liberalism Lacks An Idea

If You Compare The United States With Europe, My View Is That What Happened In Europe Is That The Church Became Deeply Distrusted By People, Because It Sided With The Monarchs. It Instituted The Inquisition And Became Part Of The Repressive State Apparatus. That Never Happened Here. We Don't Have That History.

I Live In A Country Where 90 Or 95 Percent Of The People Profess To Be Religious, And Maybe They Are Religious, Though My Experience Of Religion Suggests That Very Few People Are Actually Religious In More Than A Conventional Sense.

The Idea Of Public Reason Has To Do With How Questions Should Be Decided, But It Doesn't Tell You What Are The Good Reasons Or Correct Decisions.

Liberal Constitutional Democracy Is Supposed To Ensure That Each Citizen Is Free And Equal And Protected By Basic Rights And Liberties.

Ideal Legislators Do Not Vote Their Interests.
