I am thinking mainly about support for "socialized" healthcare (and the expectation that is a free human RIGHT in any country with the resources to provide it) and unadulterated religion.
I lived in the UK for four years, and I am still shocked when I read things like a recent post about the South Carolina legislature passing a law that would allow students to receive academic credit for "religious" courses held off-campus, ie at their church. What is WITH people? Seriously. Why are Americans so totally behind-the-times on this hung-ho literalist religion bullshit? Every other industrialized, post-Enlightment nation is laughing at us, and rightly so.
