I realize that being so outraged can take a great of time but would you please grow a clue already. Just follow the link to Wikipedia in the hope of gaining some enlightenment. For crying out loud stop reading Salon, its rotting your brain.
That is what I originally thought you meant by it, but was confused because it's exactly the "Leftist intellectuals" you guys are attacking who are the LEAST likely to believe in that sort of civic religion, and it is where I part company with much of the Academic Left.
I dunno, Odin, you can find a lot of schmaltzy rhetoric about "Who We Are", ritual invocations of Emma Lazarus' poem as if it were part of the Constitution, R2P, etc. among the leftward end of the commentariat.
