You say that as if it's a bad thing. The United States has been at its greatest when we share values and beliefs. We are at our worst when we don't. More importantly, shared values and beliefs have kept the US far more stable than other countries. Where as countries like the UK go through political extremes due to their all or nothing parlimentary governments, our system of checks and balances forces all three branches of the government to work together to do what is in the best interest of the country.
