Stray Thoughts on Liberalism As Secular Religion

Like phoney religionists the liberal is the high priest of a perverted religion which takes from the good and gives to the bad. He seeks power over his flock by instilling an unearned guilt into them to extract royalties. They must worship at his man made shrine of liberalism. They must earnestly and unctuously repeat its mantras and observe its rituals. The right hand must always know what the left hand is doing. Trumpet your good works across the land and use the extracted royalties to pay for the trumpetting!

Any dissent is heresy leading to public shame and humiliation.

The people had no sooner shaken off the tyrannous yoke of religiosity than they proceeded to yoke themselves to an even greater one of liberalsim. Its incantations were naked and transparent: 'to each according to his need', 'free at the point of use', 'cradle to grave welfare'. A return to the Edenic state, the New Jerusalem -without the need of repentance! Who could resist the siren cry of the unearned?
