Political scientists generally define 'ultra left-wing' as those who espouse Maoist-type governance, which involves cultic activities similar to the Cultural Revolution. Air America radio does not espouse such activities.
Fair enough. I should have just said, "left wing." But, as long as we're being reasonable here, it is ridiculous to imply that [i:85171639d6]First Things[/i:85171639d6] is an instrument of Opus Dei. It is certainly neocon, and I am not a neocon so I do not agree with many of the things they say, but the piece by Ross Douthat was excellent and he makes an important point.
My larger point was that [i:85171639d6]Jesus Camp[/i:85171639d6] dilutes its very important thesis by conflating it with the filmmakers' political agenda, which happens to be left wing.
