I agree abolishing tenure is not the solution, nor is ending the lifetime appointment for Judges. Those would be changes that would surely come back to bite us (the right) in the rear end.
The truly frightening thing about the left is the nihilism, the relativism. The denial of any true Truth.
This is why I already like the new Pope, he spoke out against this attitude immediately. And the heathen media have made it a sound byte, God love them for it.
I guess it is plain that the educrats are the very last redoubt of the evil left of the 20th century. On another, unrelated thread, there was some slam against Louisa May Alcott for her writing in Little Women. I'm sure you can imagine the charge.
Yet that book has maybe the Ur Feminist Jo as the heroine (or hero as today's female "actors" like to call themselves except for the exact moment when they are accepting the best actress oscar [reg. trademark]); and LMA's dad was a famous forerunner of today's left.
Except that he wasn't, I'm pretty sure Branson Alcott was searching for the Truth, not denying it could ever be found, because in fact, it did not exist.
I'm rambling on this thread, but gosh darn I've watched this culture sink into the mire under the influence, the capricious and arbitrary influence of these people for my entire thinking life.
If they are not stopped we, well not we, probably our grandchildren, will be leading a life that the serfs of the middle ages would dread have forced upon them.
Yes. But you have to understand that liberals have their own absolute truths. They believe, for instance, that Western civilization is bad, that people of color are good, that abortion is good, that homosexuality is natural.
Sure, they fashion themselves nihilists and value relativists when they're attacking Western civilization. The rest of the time they're fanatics who have very definite ideas of right and wrong.
It's really the case that liberals are opportunistic nihilists. They're such self-satisfied lunatics that their value relativism only applies to things they hate.
