You get to do whatever you like at the moment.
Is that good??
1.That, in fact, may be the greatest attraction of Progressivism, the Left. No rules. That means no self-discipline, no responsibilities, nothing to hold one back from accommodating any and all of oneās āappetites.ā Even those that, in earlier times, one might not be willing to discuss.
There is one thing, thoughā¦to be part of the great No-Rules Club, you must never question, only follow their agendaā¦.itās kinda like the club has that one rule. But itās not one that would prevent the fulfilling of any and all of oneās feeling, whims, capricesā¦.even those that would get you in hot water in earlier times.
2. And subscribing to the above one must, obviously, give up religion, the Judeo-Christian version which Americaās Founders embraced. You simply substitute the religion of Rousseau, Hegel and Marx, one which could be described as Militant Secularism.
Perhaps āsubstituteā is too mild a term: the previous one need be abolished, at least made to be an embarrassment.
3. But the āgood newsā for āconvertsā to the No Rules Club is that there are no moral debts, anything that feels good is accepted, one owes nothing to anyone else, and if another human being stands in the way of oneās enjoymentā¦.well, as I said, there are no restrictions (coughā¦abortionsā¦)
4. Melanie Phillips spoke of the change as regrettable.
" When morality became privatized, the questions āwhat is rightā became āwhat is right for me.ā Feelings... became the arbiters of behavior. Rather than traditional taboos, only religiously based moral judgment was deemed taboo. The harm caused to abandoned spouses or children by adultery or desertion- harm that can be objectively documented in rates of ill health, depression, educational underachievement, criminal behavior- was all but ignored, while damage done to peopleās feelings by condemnation of their adultery or desertion was considered unforgiveable."
"The World Turned Upside Down," Melanie Phillips, chapter 14
5. Read item #4 above, and apply that message to this problem:
With respect to the education gap, how is it that 'racism' is responsible for these areas in which black students fall short when compared to white and Asian students:
The number of days absent from school
The number of hours spent watching TV
The number of pages read for homework
Quantity and quality of reading material in the home
The presence of two parents in the home.
It isnāt racismā¦..itās folks having joined the āNo Rules Club".........
....and these are some of the consequences.
