'Hyperindividualism"? I thought that was the Republican forte?

I guess this is used in the sense of egoist or possibly narcissist. I surmise it reinforces the view that atheists, dependent on ever changing, will-o-the-wisp morals, have only their own interests at heart. Pretty standard attacks from Christian moralists. The Republican view is of the steel jawed entrepreneur, the maverick, forging new paths to greater glory.

'Hyperindividualism"? I thought that was the Republican forte?

I guess this is used in the sense of egoist or possibly narcissist. I surmise it reinforces the view that atheists, dependent on ever changing, will-o-the-wisp morals, have only their own interests at heart. Pretty standard attacks from Christian moralists. The Republican view is of the steel jawed entrepreneur, the maverick, forging new paths to greater glory. The interesting part is that Republicans working in offices for $40,000 a year seem to buy into this idea that this could be them someday. There's nothing wrong with hope and ambition but realistically, the dreams that they hold are the same dreams that keep them in the position they're in, but they keep hoping anyway. And the gap widens between the corner offices of the executives upstairs and the pencil pushers in the bowels of the building. They become "more efficient" while their wages remain stagnant or decline, all the while, increasing the bonuses of their Republican bosses upstairs. So the lie continues, fed with the hope of "someday, someday, that'll be me".

Oh, sorry for the off topic rant! I admit to being easily distracted.
