The ?Theophobia? of the Left makes it so there's always major argument and conflict. P&N is no different. It?s clear to me, that of all issues, the biggest prejudice that unifies all Elites (yes, there's my word again) is their hostility to religion, especially Christianity. It is THE biggest factor in the culture war.
Nothing threatens the Liberal Elites so much as Faith. Their fear manifests itself mostly as intense hostility and dismissive mockery, but as any casual observer of social issues/politics can attest to, one thing is for sure: They are obsessed with religion.
As much as any religious follower promotes his agenda, his message PALES next to the anti-religious Liberal Elite zealot. Their tirades are more numerous, more lengthy, and far more vitriolic than that of the poor family that goes to church on Sundays and feels under attack by this anti-religious mafia. (Of course the elites will always deny they are anti-religious? they think it?s tolerable- as long as it is kept private and doesn?t factor into your public life and opinions :roll: )
They can?t stand the idea that there is something greater, something more important than themselves. They can?t stand for the thought of an external framework that doesn?t allow for their personal whims and desires. Religiousness runs smack against the elite dogma. Since they believe they are the sole judges of what?s right and wrong, the elites obviously cannot coexist with a deep belief in God?.it?s all about power. Since the Liberal Elites believes the individual should decide all things -unconstrained by objective morality, obligation, responsibilities, or truth- taking the power away from them is a personal insult to their arrogance. The power-mad do not react well to a ?higher power?.
Watching the elites throw fits in public may be great entertainment, but unfortunately, their hostility to religion and the people who follow it is perhaps the great divider between the elites and average Americans. They are eager to enforce conformity to their anti-religious views. Not only have they twisted ?separation of church and state? into an ugly mutant idea, even that is insufficient. Now there must be a ?separation of church and life.?
The Dem-elites are losing their traditional populist constituency mainly because of their arrogant hostility to religion? and more importantly, their sneeringly belittling of average, decent people who don?t share their attitudes on Faith. The elite?s stereotypes, smear campaigns, and general mean-spiritedness is their own undoing. Pretty soon they'll have painted themselves into a little insignificant corner and mainstream America will barely give them a glance as they go about their business.
