Liberalism is a Secular Religion

                                

Psychology of facts, as opposed to steadfast beliefs, is part of politics. It has unfortunately evolved into a religion-like atmosphere that often affects economics and business.

Conservatives claim their economic stance is based on the written constitution, and on historic economic fact, events that actually happened in this country and the world. They are reacting to such events.

Liberals tend to react, almost religiously, on the basis of beliefs, the way life ought to be. If the constitution does not remedy what liberals believe is wrong, simply adjust the meaning of the constitution. And if the majority of voters don’t want that heart-felt change, liberals would find a like-minded judge to rule for the change.

Unfortunately, many dictatorships have started with precisely this method of adapting government constitutions to what well-meaning folks think ought to be. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
