Looks very nice. I would also add "The Constitution exists to limit the power of the government, so that the American people can largely live their lives as they see fit."

Not true.

Religion is present most everywhere and tamed the Law of the Jungle eons ago. Liberalism is merely an attempt to remove the bonds of religion that are thought chafe.

Actually, you overstate it. Christianity makes that attrempt while other religions don’t neccesarly do the same. Fair point about liberalism though.

This article is about some undeniable truths in the world, here are some undeniable truths about liberals:

1) Liberalism, at its core, is about alleviating the consequences of bad decisions at the expense of those making good decisions through forced confiscation.
2) Liberals, despite the root word liberty, do not support any individual liberty except in cases of sexual behavior related decisions.
3) Abortion is the quintessence of the first two rules. The MOST INNOCENT human is made to pay for, with its very life, the often frivolous sexual behavior decisions of someone else.

Not “religion” per se - Islam is about the barbaric, violent oppression of others.

Judeo-Christian based cultures, however, follow your assertion that “religion” conquers the Law of the Jungle.

No, I don’t buy into the multicultural “all religions are equal” crap.

“Religion is present most everywhere and tamed the Law of the Jungle eons ago. Liberalism is merely an attempt to remove the bonds of religion that are thought chafe.”

In the absence of religion people are likely to do whatever they think they can get away with. Religion provides an all-seeing all-knowing being who can’t be fooled and who will ultimately make you pay for your actions. A man who believes in God knows that he can never escape justice, and so he tends to behave himself.

I think tou have a warped view of Islam. Moslems have very strong cultural restrictions on the actions of individuals that are directly elated to opposotopn to the law of the jungle.

Prohibition against alcohol and drugs is one. The societal damage as a result of abuse is prohibited because of the tendency for abuse and damage to the family.

Christians have chosen to abandon many of the old verty tight restrictions on personal action. The current liberal movement is to continue and intensify that trend.

Nice article. However, I have a somewhat different take on the current state of liberalism. It has evolved into an entirely dishonest enterprise. They seek and maintain power by promising rewards to a voting majority, paid for by a voting minority. All their words seeking to “help” some new “victims” are code words to enhance the only thing they care about - maintaining power. I disagreed with just about all of FDR's domestic programs, but I never doubted his sincerity. Today, I see every leading liberal as self-centered, lying, multimillionaire power freaks.

I would put that into the “Fear of the Lord” box.

Premeditated Infectious Liberalism is the core cause of the effect of abandonment.

The other war.

Islam is responsible for that culture not advancing beyond the 12th century.

No, I don’t have a “warped” view of Islam, but I do know more about Islam than most of the Islamic apologists would like the general populace to know.

Sure, they have prohibitions on a lot of things, but they also have the “out” of “if it advances Islam, do it”.
