One of the Idols of the Left is Gaia, The Earth Goddess. From her cult springs the whole false system of Global Warming Hysteria, Animal Rights at the expense of Human Rights, Enviro-terrorism, and other non-productive behavior that masquerades as conservation. I have ALWAYS been an advocate of intelligent use of resources, recycling, clean air and water, responsible farming methods and forestry, and am kind to animals, but the Gaia Cult is nothing short of IDOLATRY!
(Just one example of what you are talking about, FRiend!)
Well put.
