POLITICAL ENTHUSIASM AS RELIGION?

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY DANIEL BAER IN THE GUARDIAN

Daniel Baer, "The Church of Obama" is just a dumb article.

Enthusiasm over a candidate is not religion. That's a high-school level analysis.

A core value about religion and politics?

Aren't you just a trifle late speaking up on that after seven years of Bush's assault on rights and freedoms?

Indeed the failure of millions like you to speak out forcefully and do something real created the horror that millions of Americans long to escape from.
