a civilization's overwhelming military dominance, economic dominance and technological dominance count for naught if it's ideologically insecure. The issue is self-defence. If you're a genuine cultural relativist--if you really believe our society is no better or worse than any other--you're about to get the opportunity not just to talk the talk but to walk the walk. Good luck.

Most of the libertarians I know in New Zealand tend to be self-loathing leftists except when it comes to economics. Many of them are out-and-out cultural relativists. Take heed the words of Steyn, these libertarians.

Very unfortunately, this article is just too damn true. The part about education, for me, being a retired teacher, was particularly painful.

Our nation's history has been reduced to, relatively speaking, a collection of sound bites--and too many of them aren't even relevant. There is no such thing as American History even taught. It is another victim of relevancy--and is written by cultural apologists. For me, I just can't believe everything is relative, or there is "parity" in everything, or whatever catchy little phrase neo-relativists, self-loathing apologists, choose to use. We owe it to our children to teach them about their culture. It will come back to bite them if we don't.

[eureka!]
