Why liberals hate the traditional family
By J. Max Wilson
What is it about the traditional family that irks liberals so much? Why do they work so incessantly to redefine it, restructure it, and usurp its functions with government run programs? To answer these questions we need to delve into the relationships between the family and society.
The family has often been called the basic unit of society, but what exactly does that mean? When a man and a woman marry, they enter into a covenant, a contract of mutual trust, support, and fidelity. An essential part of the marriage contract is the bearing, protection and nurture of children. This covenant is the original and archetypal social contract. By it society is created and by its terms society is defined. Through it the values of society are established and propagated. All other social contracts and constructs originate from the archetypal covenant of marriage.
Just as there is an inseparable relationship between form and function in poetry, chemistry, physics, and government, the actual structure of the family is interrelated with its function. The very structure of the traditional family, composed of man, woman, and children, not only propagates the traditional values of society — it engenders them.
While men may proclaim relativism intellectually, it is completely impracticable in the day to day interactions between father, mother, and children. An innate sense of right and wrong, justice and injustice is, within the traditional family, the unassailable law. The natural constraints which a traditional family places upon each individual member nurture within him traditional values including beneficence, familial duties, justice, good faith and veracity, mercy, magnanimity, and spirituality. Within the traditional family the inherent differences between femininity and masculinity, as well as how they naturally complement each other, are inescapably manifest in the interactions between mother and father, daughter and son.
Because its very form encourages traditional values, the traditional family is remarkably resistant to top-down liberal social engineering at national and regional levels. This fact drives liberals mad. Despite many decades of attempted social engineering, most people still believe in universal morals. Most people still believe that concepts of masculinity and femininity are real and absolute. Most infuriating of all is the fact that most people still believe in a Creator and do not believe in evolutionary speciation.
Liberals have discovered that if religion is the opiate of the masses, the traditional family is the pusher.
And that it why they hate the traditional family. The traditional family acts contra their liberal social projects. The traditional family refutes moral relativism. The traditional family denies gender relativism. The traditional family suffocates atheism.
The greatest converter of liberals to conservatism is the traditional family.
Liberals have found that they will never succeed in changing society on a wide scale until they change the structure and function of the family. And that is exactly what they are trying to do.
They have usurped the responsibility of parents to educate their own children.
They have divorced marriage from child bearing and then sex from marriage.
They have undermined the marriage social contract by encouraging frivolous divorce and flagrant fornication and adultery.
They have lured parents into a two-income economic trap which requires them to abandon the nurture of their children.
And now they want to change the very structure of the family through the introduction of homosexual marriage.
Tinkering with the structure and function of the family has grave societal consequences. Society is an extremely complex system. The social contract between God, man, wife, and children defines our societal attractor. Changes to that contract will cycle and feedback throughout society. The consequences of changing these fundamental parameters in such a complex system are both uncontrollable and unpredictable.
To attempt such changes is an act of supreme human arrogance and may very well push our society from order into chaos.
