The Left's unhinged faith

By Donald Sensing

Obama's Faith-Based Liberalism

Rick Santorum’s assertion that President Obama’s agenda is not about the quality of life or jobs but “some phony ideal. Some phony theology” may not be an appropriate characterization of his religious views. However, it is an accurate description of what is wrong with the hard left in American politics, and the thinking that drives domestic policy in the Obama Administration.

Too often liberal policies are based more on faith than reason—often those are premised on assertions having little foundation in facts or modern economics. Consequently, the President advocates or imposes solutions that make the nation’s problems worse, and when confronted with disappointing results he often tells us what he believes, without offering the data and logic that brought him to those conclusions.
Leftist believe in leftism: "Beliefs over facts, assertions in place of reason, vilification of opponents—that looks a lot like religion—the worst kind."
