Is Anger the New American Religion?

from The Stephen Mansfield Podcast

There is such a thing as "righteous anger." We should fight against injustice every step of the way—and with zeal! Yet what permeates today's politics is "easy" anger, that is, simply looking for a scapegoat and inciting anger for anger’s sake. Whether on the right or left, most popular talking points are more like finger-pointing. In today's episode, Stephen asks us to do away with this kind of useless animosity. Strong leaders lead—and rise above unrighteous anger.   [button size='large' style='' text='SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES' icon='' icon_color='' link='https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/stephen-mansfield-podcast/id433416409?mt=2?mt=2' target='_blank' color='' hover_color='' border_color='' hover_border_color='' background_color='' hover_background_color='' font_style='normal' font_weight='' text_align='center' margin=‘'] [custom_font font_family='Open Sans' font_size='11' line_height='26' font_style='none' text_align='left' font_weight='300' color='' background_color='' text_decoration='none' text_shadow='no' padding='0px' margin='0px']"Donald Trump Mocks Disabled Reporter" courtesy of corbettreport on YouTube[/custom_font]
