If there's one amazingly bad take on the Democrats in 2019, it's the idea that they're somehow not secular, and appeal to a strong base of secularists. On Friday night's PBS NewsHour, the Week in Review segment ran typically with lots of Trump denunciations -- David Brooks compared him to George Wallace and Father Coughlin -- but then David Brooks touted kooky Marianne Williamson pushing an "uprising of decency" for the Democrats, as he did in his Friday New York Times column. Brooks insisted "you can't beat a values revolution with a policy proposal.

New-Age stuff has always been a staple of the quasi-religious left. It’s being “spiritual” without God. This “spirituality” is nothing more than liberal asceticism.

Oh, it's religious all right. It is. But their "gods" are demonic beings like Ba'al, Moloch, and the demon called Allah. Yes, they do seem to worship evil.

do these demoKKKrats practice in the green room to keep themselves from laughing.
They know they are lying, fooling their faithful followers, and keeping a straight face.

There is an uprising of decency, and it's Christians and conservatives who've had enough of the corruption and degeneracy of the left. And there is a strong spiritual chord among the demoncrats. It isn't the spirit of Christ that moves them, but the spirit of anti-christ. They have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof, believing that people can engage in any form of debauchery and degeneracy that moves them. They are just "expressing themselves." Well don't. We don't want to see it.
When the demoncrat politicians are this bad in public, just imagine them behind closed doors. Fooling the rubes and gullible among their followers, those who want to believe their lies and impossible promises. Talking about values and the importance of religion, it was Christians and Republicans who comprised the abolitionist and civil rights movements, fighting the racism of the demoncrats. Do they think we don't remember history? The media Ministry of Truth hasn't been able to destroy all historical documents.

Remember? David Brooks was the guy who liked to eye the crease in Obama's pants.

I will consider this to be true when every one of them is reading their Bible. . .

Well, it certainly isn't God they worship.

I heard John Podhoretz talking to Ben Shapiro on Thursday. He wrote an article on Marianne Williamson 20 years ago and was describing who she is. She was born and raised as a conservative Jew, as were they. Her new age religion is basically Christianity without God.

"Strong spiritual...." is that like strong spirits, such as straight grain alcohol? Maybe 190 proof rum?
Nothing else fits.
They are pretty much all aethists who hate America, would be Lenins who would gleefully destroy the country.

Mark Shields is a cynical, lying, partisan hack who will say anything that he thinks is going to somehow gain support for his leftist crackpot ideas. The abolitionist movement in this country was almost exclusively Republican. Wendell Phillips was one of its strongest voices not to mention that it was Republicans who elected Lincoln over the violent objections of the slave owning Southern Democrats. During the Civil War it was Democrat machine cities like Boston and New York that saw the most violent anti war and anti black race riots that were stoked by the Democrat party. Shields knows this but cynically pushes the exact opposite narrative like the devious alinskyite he is.

If by spiritual you mean they worship at the alter of Beelzebub, then this article is spot-on.

They are as spiritual as a rat. Foul language, death threats and violence against anyone who disagree with them are not expressions of spiritualism.

Most Dems are a "spiritual" as a fence post.
