Liberal Fundamentalism! The resurgence of this reality-free, logic-free doctrine has delivered to the enemies of Judeo-Christian values and life an unfettered license to go about their business of undermining our entire civilization, with the ultimate intention of dismantling and replacing it with an Islamic system of the likes seen in the Middle East.
Though I disagree with the conclusion of instituting an Islamic system, the premise of liberalism is DEAD ON ACCURATE.
Look at university "research" projects in the human sciences (psychology, communication, sociology, etc....) over the past 15-20 years, and the trend toward Qualitative (where the FACTS don't matter, just what people FEEL is the correct conclusion to hypothetical constructs)....
The Worldview II (i.e. Qualitative) approach undermines true logic and factual-based research methodology.
No wonder the studies are out recently showing most professor's (90%+) are liberal democrat or greens.
I only know of one, ONE professor, though a "independent," but still teaches Quantitative research methodology as the only "proven" method of proving research hypotheses...and, he's the only professor in the department that regularly publishes his work...qualitative is harder to publish (go figure) and even harder to glean anything useful from...
I just finished a B.A. in history last year at a liberal university (is there any other kind?) The total absence of critical thinking and logic is appalling in universities...and from professors no less! For example, many will tell you, "there is no absolute truth" <---- is it possible to make a more self-stultifying statement than this? That's like saying, "everything I say is a lie" or "I can't speak a word of english."
I believe it is a moral problem, not a philosophical one. RElativists do not want to acknowledge truth exists or that moral absolutes exist becuase then they would be accountable for their actions.
