I'm thinking the author completely missed the mark on "liberal" philosophy.

The leftist seeks a world in which he can do whatever feels good at the time, without judgement from others, and without the requirement that he as an individual pay for the burden of the consequences for his choices and behaviors.

It has nothing to do with moral absolutes or not. It has everything to do with being completely free of consequences.

You can be assured I would not watch Peter Jennings examining anything of importance ,certainly not my faith!

I believe that liberals do believe in absolutes..the absolute rightness of their opinion and the absolute wrongness of anyone who challenges them.

"At times, I listen in stupefied amazement at the preposterous criticisms leveled against conservatives in general and Christians in particular."

I don't. There are only so many minutes in the day, and I d#%&#$ sure am not going to spend them listening to garbage...particularly from Peter Jennings.
