You'd better believe it. Senator Obama and his supporters dislike traditional Americanism, preferring the Darwinian doctrine of evolutionary change expressed in moral relativism.
Senator Obama's army of followers are energized by inexperienced and immature students and by Baby Boomer anarchists eager to relive their activist days of the 1960s and 70s. They stand opposed to the historical traditions of the United States. Theirs is a world in which change is equated with sensual self-indulgence.
Underlying this vision of change is Darwin's evolutionary hypothesis, applied to politics and social interaction by John Dewey in the early 20th century. Dewey taught Columbia University students that Darwin's idea of evolution applied to morality as well as biology. This meant, said Dewey, that there can be no such thing as timeless principles of morality. Rules of social conduct are continually undergoing evolutionary change. All that matters is action that gets you what you want.
This is moral relativism, the rationalization for Senator Obama and his followers arrogating to themselves the right to change society's standards of acceptable behavior. "Bringing us together" in Senator Obama's terms means that traditionalists must conform to the ever-changing social standards of left-wing liberal-progressives.
Most of the American public can’t be bothered with digging deeper into their candidates.
They will elect on emotion and platitudes.

Bottom line, it's total lack of respect for the very Americans whose vote he is courting.
Obama could not be more illiberal. I am tired of the whole 'you have to change' BS.
“Liberalism is nothing more than the ideological disguise of the will to power of some people who could not themselves be LESS liberal.”
How about a change to a more traditionalist order? A change to a more masculine ruling elite? A change in our tastes from the perverse to the uplifting? No? Then just what sort of change is the obamanation offering?
Normally that is true but this time we have color in the campaign. This will be a huge factor, both for and against.
Yeah, well; that’s a stretch.

Dewey is like all other arrogant atheistic materialists like Dawkins, Dennet, et.al., who embrace the secular religion of scientism. (Scientism is an unscientific attempt to wed evolutionary biology with philosophy/metaphysics.
Biological Science has nothing to do with “origins” or “morality”, and anyone - including scientists - who say it does aren’t doing “biology” - they’re doing philosophy and calling it science).
