Tuesday, December 21, 2004A case of collective projection David Limbaugh and the secular Left’s irrational fear of Christians This year more than most, I think it's safe to say we've noticed an upturn in the attacks on religious sentiment in America, particularly with regards to Christmas. David Limbaugh is not amused: We've read the editorial lambasting of the Christian Right with aggravated fervor: Maureen Dowd likened Christian conservatives to 'a vengeful mob -- revved up by rectitude -- running around with torches and hatchets after heathens and pagans and infidels.' Nicholas Kristof lampooned Christians who believe in the Rapture. Liberal icon Bill Moyers exhibited pangs of horror at anti-environmentalist Christian fundamentalists who 'may believe that environmental destruction is not only to be disregarded but actually welcomed -- even hastened -- as a sign of the coming apocalypse.'Given the full blown rantings from the Democrats still lamenting their 2004 defeat, I'd say that Limbaugh isn't too far off the mark. A sad commentary, if not for the fact it's also a sign we are moving towards rather than away from a more congenial and accepting public square than the secular humanists can ever possibly afford.
