High Priest of the Religious Left?

Well, this author gets some things right, though I am quick to add that she has seriously derranged ideas about Kabbala and is an obvious anti-Semite… Still, the argument that Obama is the poster boy of the various faux intellectuals of our day — i.e., those phony and illegitimate arbiters of a ”metaphysical reality” that is being imposed as a “new socal order” — is certainly on the money….

Obama: High Priest Of The Religious Left
By Harmony Grant
Pundits rejoice that the reign of the “religious right” is over. The Bush administration is accused of using government to push religious dogmas-something Obama will never do, of course. Those who demand “church/state separation” especially exult, but a majority of Americans also celebrate Obama’s victory.
Yet Obama will enforce his own “religion” from the White House. Beliefs will still be pushed, metaphysical claims endorsed. Obama did not run on a platform of limited government, individual rights, and maximum individual freedom. No, his entire campaign exalts the idea of a progressive, multiracial nation sewn together by a government which will not tolerate hate or bias.
Whose hate or bias, you ask? Thanks for asking. That’s the problem. One man’s backwoods bias is another’s abomination. And if you haven’t read the Federalist Papers, I can assure you that the realm of beliefs is supposed to be a hands-off zone for lawmakers in DC.
If Barack Obama had run on a platform of restricted government and maximum individual freedom-an agenda created by none other than our Founding Fathers-then this truly would be a time of change. But it isn’t. His “progressive” agenda is just as faith-based, and far more dangerous…
