The 6 Big Ways Liberals Are Destroying America’s Culture
Townhall.com ^ | October 29, 2017 | John Hawkins

There was a time when we used to be a nation that pushed freedom, responsibility, decency, patriotism and hard work. Some of us still believe in those things, but because of liberalism, much more destructive values have seeped into our culture like toxic waste. There are many ways that liberals have degraded our culture, but these are the worst of the worst.

1) The Politicization Of Everything: Want to watch football? There are players protesting the flag. Turn on a Hollywood awards ceremony? There are actors making political statements. Want to go to the bathroom in peace? Well, first, we need to know if you’re okay with sharing it with someone who feels like the opposite gender today. You’re just a regular person telling an off-color joke you heard? Better be careful; that could turn into a front page scandal if the wrong group gets offended. Want to buy a Halloween costume for your kid? Well, you better make sure it’s someone of the same race or people will be upset. Want to go on a date? If you date someone of the same race, you may be racist. Ready to marry your honey? Then you better support gay marriage or you’re a homophobe. I can remember a time in America where you could just live your life without paying attention to politics at all if you wanted and that was a good thing. Remember that old saying? Never discuss race, religion or politics in polite company? Well, because of liberals, you don’t have a choice anymore.

2) Political Correctness: I hate the idea that some normal person can tell a joke on Twitter and have his life destroyed for it by the liberal fun police. I think it’s disgusting to see that liberals have embraced fascism to such an extent that they can’t tolerate a contrary idea on their college campus. It’s like the whole country is in a relationship with someone who has borderline personality disorder. Everyone’s walking on eggshells because some buttercup might get horribly upset at, well….just about anything. Whatever happened to the idea that if some ordinary thing triggers you, YOU have the problem and it’s something YOU need to work on? Oh, yeah, liberals happened to it.

3) Victimhood: Only in America do people get so excited about the idea of being a victim that they will even fake hate crimes against themselves to get that status. Only in America are there women publicly crying that they were sexually assaulted and traumatized because a 93 year old, wheelchair-bound President pinched their butt. Only in America do we have to come up with things like white privilege and institutional racism because there’s not enough real racism happening to allow liberal minorities to feel like victims. There was a time in America when people wanted to feel strong, capable and able to handle their own problems instead of being victims. There still are people like that today and they’re called conservatives.

4) Liberal Feminism: The original “Women should have the same rights as men” feminism has been so widely accepted in society that it made feminism irrelevant. So, liberal feminists reinvented feminism as a combination of man-hating and victimization. Look out, it’s the patriarchy and rape culture! Don’t you dare hold the door for me! Stop mansplaining! Stop saying, “Not all men!” You just sit there in silence thinking about how you’ve oppressed women! Liberal feminism falsely makes women think they could have it all if those awful men weren’t getting in their way and it makes many guys unsure of what reaction they’ll get from women when they behave like men. Forget about the old “Women should be women and men should be men” philosophy; liberal feminism is about women being men and the men being shamed.

5) Tribalism:  Liberals work incessantly to split Americans in ever smaller groups that are at each other’s throats. If you want to get a sense of how bad it has gotten, we’re having ferocious public debates about transsexuals who, depending on how you define it, make up less than .25% to .75% of the population. Increasingly, the attitude is moving from the annoying, “You just can’t understand because of your race/color/gender” to “You HATE ME and I HATE YOU” because of differences that are often unchangeable. This is incredibly dangerous to our future as a country because you can’t hold any group of people including a nation together long term when people no longer believe they share the same goals and values as their neighbors.   Our nation’s motto is E pluribus unum (Out of many, one), but what happens when liberals insist that the many never become one?

6) “Non-Judgmentalism”: We’ve heard so many liberals talk about how important it is to be non-judgmental that it has seeped into the culture at large. When there’s a choice between what’s best for society and best for a particular individual who has done something wrong, we always default to protecting that individual. How’s that working out for us? Since the stigma around getting a divorce, having a child out of wedlock or having an abortion has faded, are we better or worse off? Are the kids who are aborted or who get raised by a single parent instead of a family better off? Are the guys who are extremely hesitant to get married because they fear divorce better off? Are we better off because people no longer wonder whether doing something horrible in public will hurt their good name or ruin their family’s reputation? The very fact that we are so unwilling to draw a line in the sand and say “That’s right” or “That’s wrong” has mired our culture in degeneracy. Maybe if there were more people who feel bad when they do things that “wouldn’t make their mothers proud,” there would be a lot more decent human beings.

NOW never wanted the same rights as men. They wanted Marxism and to destroy the nuclear family.

Take away HIS power.

Make him as irrelevant in society as a bicycle is to a fish.

Damned hairy legged lesbians.

“Non-Judgmentalism”

This is the philosophy underpinning EVERY problem in our society.

Dirty hippies invented it.

This started with LBJ’s “War on Poverty.”

Amen! I believe we are very close to the last days. I am looking forward to the Rapture and being with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, when the time of the antichrist appears on this earth.

But they're allowed to be judgmental, as they call the rest of us haters, homophobes, racists, sexists, gun-nuts, Bible-thumpers, white privileged, etc., etc.

Popularity means more than quality. Everyone and everything about the music and entertainment business is over-politicized and therefore, overrated. No consumer ever gets what he or she pays for but they’re oblivious to that lack of value.

LBJ's war on poverty ("Great Society") and war in VN destroyed America. He's the worst prez this country has ever had.

Exactly, Nea Wood. It's a tactic that allows them to take over the culture.

That's why I take every opportunity that I can.to be judgemental.

I will not allow the libscum to set the rules of engagement.

I agree, what's at play is much broader than six bullets in a PowerPoint deck. Actually, I think this article from right after the election nailed it better, and much more concisely. In essence:

Liberals... have made politics their religion....What they really want is liberal Sharia law, a secular theocracy.(emphasis added)

The minimum wage, gender equality, nationalized health care, and global warmino... They are essential aspects of the liberal fatwa...Question them and you are not just wrong—you are a heretic.

(For the left), politics is the means to secular salvation. This means that, to them, political failure is not just a setback on the road to a more stable society—it is a blow to their very worldview. Opposition to their program is not just wrong-headed, but evil.

Liberals don’t have the power to kick God from this country. He isn’t at their mercy, their ignorance, or their stupidity. He left believers here to occupy the territory. Maybe we should start doing that...

Liberals want to make nature irrelevant. Male humans have certain natural characteristics. Female humans have certain natural characteristics. How can liberals worship nature and make it irrelevant at the same time? This cranial malfunction on the part of liberals has rendered them socially retarded.
