Abstract: - Excerpt: Among the most dangerous people in the US are those who actually once fervently believed the foundational myths of the country’s social and political order. It’s the true believers -- we who are schooled on republican virtues, democratic procedures, universal equality, and fair play that are said to be deeply embedded in the US experience -- who become radical crusaders when their beliefs are shattered by the truth. The true believers are cast as traitors to humanity, nation, race, or creed when they turn on those who foster a false loyalty or cheap patriotism based on lies or deception. Subject Headings |
