libertine hedonism

The flip side of liberty is responsibility. They won't work without each other.

Liberals don't want liberty but rather liberality. Permissiveness not freedom. A velvet glove on an iron fist.

And only the truth can set people "free." To place oneself outside of the truth of the soul and the meaning of reality does not result in freedom but an enslavement to sin, senselessly complicating one's life, leading (in some cases) to abortion, divorce, etc., etc. The fascination with alternative lifestyles and counter-cultural approaches to sexuality, promoted by many liberals (for whatever reason), is something they politicize as if it needs to be a point of ideological contention and polemical combat. In an absurd psychodrama, some liberals imply that the "privacy of the bedroom" is endangered by religious conservatives. What precisely it is they imagine such conservatives are doing to interrupt their nocturnal recreation of choice remains a mystery. But apparently they consider it intolerable that anyone dissents from the liberal "alternative" perspective on human sexuality. The suggestion that liberals are actually trying to force and impose their view on everyone else is something they have trouble responding to with any logical coherence. At any rate, a society with more divorce, abortion, promiscuity, teen pregnancies, adultery, and STDs is less free and in a greater degree of civilizational decline.
