Dennis Prager: The Leftist Religion

Dennis Prager: The Leftist Religion
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, Aug. 23, 2010.

I was listening to Dennis Prager this morning and took some notes. As always he is very informative and educational. Dennis is on KLAC Talk Radio 870 from 9 AM to 12 Noon M-F. If you Google “Prager University” you can check out You Tube – The American Trinity and more info.

Leftism is a secular religion in our country. Some do not believe all of it but most do. Part of that religion is a certain worship of nature. They can adulate nature more than man. They regard religious people as simpletons. This religion has regulars and elitists from all sectors of our nation.

Some of their writers are Michael Kingsley, Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd. They have a deep contempt for conservatives and traditional American values. Every major left-wing writer will refer to opponents to the Moslem sight two blocks from Ground Zero as follows: evil, racist, intolerant, and bigoted and islamophobic.

Michael Kingsley cannot imagine any opposition that is not bigoted or intolerant. Now if Charles Krauthammer is incendiary then incendiary has no meaning. These lefties have little room for serious rational thought. I checked out two columns of Maureen Dowd and her mindset.

Going Mad in Herds: by Maureen Dowd, Aug. 21, 2010, The New York Times: Excerpts:

The bookstore gave the president a copy of “Freedom,” a new novel by Jonathan Franzen about a dysfunctional family in America. THIS IS APT, SINCE OBAMA IS THE HEAD OF THE DYSFUNTIONAL FAMILY OF AMERICA – A RATIONAL MAN RUNNING A MOST IRRATIONAL NATION, A HIGH-MINDED MAN IN A LOW-MINDED AGE.

The country is having some weird mass nervous breakdown, with the right spreading fear and disinformation that is amplified by the poisonous echo chamber that is modern media environment.

The dispute over the Islamic center has tripped some deep national lunacy. The unbottled anger and suspicion concerning ground zero show that Americans haven’t flushed the trauma of 9/11 out of their systems – making them easy prey for fearmongers...

Our Mosque Madness: by Maureen Dowd, Aug. 17, 2010, New York Times: Excerpts

Maybe, for Barack Obama, it depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is. When the president skittered back from his grandiose declaration at an iftar celebration at the White House Friday that Muslims enjoy freedom of religion in America and have the right to build a Mosque and community center in Lower Manhattan, he offered a Clintonesque parsing.

“I was not commenting, and I will not comment, on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there,” he said the morning after he commented on the wisdom of making a decision to put a mosque there. “I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding. That’s what our country is about.” Let me be perfectly clear, Mr. Perfectly Unclear President: You cannot take such a stand on a matter of first principle and then take it back the next morning…
