"The ideology of the Left believes big government and social reform will solve social ills, while the Right believes big business and economic growth will do it. The Left expects a citizen to be held legally accountable for the use of his wealth, but totally autonomous in other areas, such as sexual morality. The Right expects a citizen to be held legally accountable in areas of personal morality, but totally autonomous in the use of wealth. The North American "idol"- radical individualism - lies beneath both ideologies. A Christian sees either "solution" as fundamentally humanistic and simplistic."
So, as Francis Schaeffer once said, "...Do not align yourself as though you are in either of these camps: You are an ally of neither."
