The proper reply to right wing religiosity is not to insist that politics and religion don't mix. This is the stock response of the left.

The proper reply to right wing religiosity is not to insist

Summary

The speaker dismisses this as a common response employed by liberals. In essence, the quote implies that an alternative approach is needed when engaging with right-wing religious individuals or groups, one that goes beyond rejecting the intertwining of politics and religion.

Talent is able to achieve what is beyond other people's capacity to achieve, yet not what is beyond their capacity of apprehension; therefore it at once finds its appreciators. The achievement of genius, on the other hand, transcends not only others' capacity of achievement, but also their capacity of apprehension; therefore they do not become immediately aware of it. Talent is like the marksman who hits a target which others cannot reach; genius is like the marksman who hits a target, as far as which others cannot even see.
