Wow! "Neo-Puritanical Liberalism." You really sum up the nature of the modern left in a most descriptive way. You mind if I use that?

I've thought for a long time, that the politically correct, eviro-socialists were really acting out of quasi religious motivations. Especially these bubble-brained 20 somethings that are "into saving the environment". People need to feel like they are part of something larger than themselves and since religion is now "dumb", "working to protect the environment" and for "Social Justice" have taken their place. The amazing thing is that they think they are the tolarant ones. Sheesh!

Use it with my blessing. They do have the same kind of religious zeal, self-righteousness, condemnation of “infidels”, lots of things in common, don't they? And you're right. They would hate to realize how puritannical and narrow-minded they are.
