¨Contemporary liberals, having abandoned the belief in God given inalienable rights, masochistically crave a worldly master. This master is a sadistic god substitute who will provide the stern discipline needed to force economic equality and fairness....¨

This seems to explain the democrats need to control all aspects of our lives. Our healthcare, our retirement, our rights to defend ourselves, and even such mundane acts like whether you can use your cell phone while driving. Meanwhile, all income, property or commercial activity is taxed, and taxed again. Any act or innovation must be approved by the government through licensing or permit requirements. And when you die, your estate is taxed again, if it is of even moderate size.

They are the agents of god, and god is the government.
