I wish more would question, where are the priorities of liberals?
Liberals are more concerned about global warming than about threats posed by ISIS or Islamic terror.
Liberals are more concerned about homosexual marriage than the state of marriage and family in general, and how our children are raised.
Liberals are more concerned with teaching homosexuality and diversity in school, than in teaching the basics, the so-called three “R’s”.
Liberals make excuses for savage behavior among certain peoples, blaming legacies of slavery and discrimination, yet don’t expect such people to adhere to the same standards they themselves adhere to in life.
Liberals care more about saving the whales than saving children being raised in difficult circumstances.
Liberals denigrate charities such as Salvation Army, claiming they violate “separation of church and state”, because they are afraid some needy person being aided by such groups might hear a religious message of some kind.
Liberals push and push for groups such as Boy Scouts to accept homosexuality, when issues of sexuality have nothing to do with those organizations in the first place. Liberals strive to put such organizations out of business rather than let them exist with “imperfect” ideas about homosexuality or global warming or the latest liberal views of an issue.
This is all just off the top of my head. But point being, liberals thought processes are very different than yours and mine. They see the world differently. And when liberals are in positions of power, their world view controls actions they take in those positions of power. What we see with Obama is someone with a liberal worldview which controls everything he does.
Yes, but it goes deeper than that as this author points out in the full article.
Unilaterally disarmed by decades of moral equivalency, Barack Obama and those with whom he surrounds himself are incapable of calling the enemy by name (remember, “the Islamic State is not Islamic”), let alone doing what it is necessary to destroy it (our stated mission against ISIS). In the immediate term, a lack of action is masked by empty tough talk — or spun as a good deal in the Rose Garden.snip
So, instead of waging war on evil people, they declare war on evil viruses, evil health problems and the evil weather. Confronting evil faces requires moral fortitude; confronting faceless evil does not. Rather than fight the world’s most dangerous terrorist army — or prevent Iran from getting a game-changing nuclear bomb — they deploy troops to fight a disease, ambush the school vending machine and lead a misguided crusade against climate change. And rather than ruffle a few feathers to get a decorated Marine back, they negotiate with terrorists in an attempt to close a world-class and humane detention facility in Cuba.
As I noted above, THIS is moral relativism Moral relativism is a philosophy that asserts there is no global, absolute moral law that applies to all people, for all time, and in all places. Instead of an objective moral law, it espouses a qualified view where morals are concerned, especially in the areas of individual moral practice where personal and situational encounters supposedly dictate the correct moral position.
Summing up the relative moral philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, “You have your way, I have my way. As for the right way, it does not exist.”
