This blog is about my bias #5 of seven bias blogs.
There is a large segment of the Left that has turned their political opinions into a cohesive religion. Religion is a set of agreed upon statements about how the world works, those statements are a catechism that is taken on pure faith by the believers in the religion.
None of the following are true but every Lefty Fundamentalist believes in them:
1. Equality of income has been a human ideal. It should continue to be.
2. Global commerce is exploitive of workers and the environment.
3. People would not be poor if they were given reasonable financial assistance.
4. Large corporations are generally malevolent and should be constrained.
5. Religion is the opiate of the masses.
6. There are classes in America.
7. The top class protects its interests at others expense.
If you accept this catechism you believe in a religion I call Lefty Fundamentalism.
