“Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.” ― H.L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy

  It's weird seeing the left take a turn for the puritanical. It used to be seen as an exclusive domain of the religious right.

    Perhaphs, the left has realized that religion controls minds, and since christianity belongs to the right, the left has tried to invent a competing religion. The result is a frankestein made of religious elements stitched together.

    No way. The left, the right and the center have their puritan (in the modern sense) factions, and always have. Appearances and the overt goals may differ a bit, but what to think of radical feminism?
