"The faith that permeates the lives of so many middle Americans is often derided as a crutch for weak people," Perry writes. "This seems to be the view of many liberal elitists who worship the false idol of self. The views of a great many Americans are cast aside as over-simplified, and the liberal intelligentsia like to think of themselves as the only legitimate arbiters of morality. They think the public simply doesn't know better and is easily manipulated by the emotional appeals of troglodyte, conservative commentators."
