Agreed, LH. I think there are plenty of people on both the right and the left who WOULD die for their "beliefs", insofar as the definition of "belief" is

"Whatever I did, said or professed in order to get me to the privileged position I enjoy today."

The would die for those beliefs NOT because they are true or noble, but because playing a certain ideological game was/is they way they "made it" and got rich and comfortable. They would die before giving up that luxury and comfort.

Ditto, of course, for the religiously zealous morons who would blow themselves up in public rather than admit that their "god" has no power over others, so they have to manufacture its "power" via C4 explosive.
