The Church of Progressivism
I recently came across an interesting comment in an examination of the influence of Voodoo on Haiti’s culture.
Part of the allure of idol worship is if you just perform the right ceremonies you can behave as poorly as you want without consequence.
Do you notice the interesting parallel with Progressivism? If a Progressive makes the right incantations (political correctness) and prostrates himself (literally in the case of Obama, rhetorically in others) before the right idols he can get away with all kinds of bad things both personal and political. It puts an interesting twist on the notion that Progressivism is a religion that’s substituted God for Government.
