1. One of the regular criticism of Liberals and Liberalism relates to their refusal to admit that there is actual right and wrong.

That would be too conservative a view....too traditional.......

.....too religious!



2. In fact, they regularly endorse the end of traditional values and attitudes. Charles Murray writes about how they endorse having children out of wedlock.....but do the very opposite.

"One change in societal attitude has been the “ecumenical niceness”…don’t fight, share toys, take turns….and never, ever be judgmental. As a result, the upper cultural class, which has stabilized by returning to more traditional ways, survives, yet these individuals will not criticize the behaviors which are destroying the lower cultural class."
Charles Murray


a. Low class morality:
“For Women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage”http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/18/us/for-women-under-30-most-births-occur-outside-marriage.html


b. What the Liberal elites do:
“One group still largely resists the trend: college graduates, who overwhelmingly marry before having children. That is turning family structure into a new class divide, …”
Ibid.



Murray uses a phrase that incorporates the wisdom of traditional morality:
"The elites must preach what they practice."



3. Then there was this...
"Angelina Jolie Admits An Open Relationship With Brad Pitt — Are They The New Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith?
Hollywood’s hottest couples don’t mind throwing extra lovers into the mix — but will it tear them apart?

Readers were shocked when we reminded them Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith couldn’t be torn apart by infidelity — after all,they have an open relationship. Now we’re connecting the dots on another couple admitting to rejecting monogamy...

they have no restrictions on their relationship!


“I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship,” she said."

How very .....bohemian of them! How....very Liberal.


4. Until this:
a. "Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt divorce are still being rumored on the internet, along with infidelity rumors on Brad’s part. Did Pitt and actress Marion Cotillard have an affair? Are Angelina and Brad really in a “crisis mode” in their marriage?"

Then this...
b.....Angelina Jolie filed for divorce on Monday...
... many believe that Brad Pitt cheated on Angelina Jolie, carrying on an affair with Marion Cotillard. According to Hollywood Life, there have been quite a few reports out there about Brad Pitt stepping out on his wife of two years. The report surfaced back in May and was reported on by several gossip rags. However, nothing came of the rumors and they were swept under the rug for the most part.

5. Quite the week for Liberalism...

First the failure of multiculturalism as shown in bombing and stabbing, proving global jihadism...

...and now America's couple's failure due to turning their backs on traditional, conservative values.





6. A wise wonk once wrote:
"Conservatives believe that there are moral truths, right and wrong, and that these truths are permanent. The result of infracting these truths will be atrocities and social disaster. Liberals believe in a privatization of morality so complete that no code of conduct is generally accepted, practically to the point of ‘do what you can get away with’. These beliefs are aimed at the gratification of appetites and exhibit anarchistic impulses."
