Worth the click to read the whole article and the comments.

The author lays the blame on an infatuation with “reason”—truth be told, most of the societal problems we face began with rationalism and the so-called “Enlightenment”

Yet nothing is more superstitious and irrational than modern liberalism. The post-Christian culture into which it has plunged America is overflowing with Sally Quinns, dabbling with this or that kookish fad

Yes, the country is full of old ladies practicing the occult.

Back in the good old days ...

“Throwing around references to “reason” and “science” is now part of the daily patter of smug liberalism: Al Gore speaks of an “assault on reason,” Hillary Clinton treats the rejection of her campaign platform as a repudiation of “reason,” blogging celebrities who can barely craft a coherent sentence invoke “reason,” and so on.”

The article clearly references a misuse of the terms reason and science. Certainly there is no reason, objectivity or observation in the occult any more than reason would allow someone to list the objective success of any strictly socialist government that has ever existed for ant time. Unreasonable reason is our progressive plague.

I read the article. I don't disagree with it, but this brilliant article coming eight days after Trump's win really nails it in my opinion. In short:

Liberals have...made politics their religion....What they really want is liberal Sharia law, a secular theocracy. (Emphasis added)

The minimum wage, gender equality, nationalized health care, and global warming—whatever their practical virtues—are not just expedient policy prescriptions. They are essential aspects of the liberal fatwa....Question them and you are not just wrong—you are a heretic.(emphasis added)
