    Historian Paul Johnson begins his book, "Modern Times" with Einstein's theories of relativity. He asserts that the notion spread beyond science to social "science."

    Liberals have but one value: Power - to make their delusions "real." No morals; no standards. Or, in the words of John Lennon: "Imagine there's no country, it isn't hard to do; nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too...."

    Liberals have only two values: 1. Theft is okay unless it is theft from us. 2. The use of force is okay unless used against us.

    In a nutshell, modern day "liberals" or Progressives subscribe to relativism at all levels hence they can defend the indefensible. Furthermore, in their upside down world, right is wrong, wrong is right and so on. Is it any wonder that with Progressives in power, we are on the fast track to careening off the cliff of sanity?

    Apparently Liberal values coincide with Karl Marx and Adolf Hitler including; redistribution of wealth and mandatory gun control to name two values and their associated goals. Other than that I think one would be hard pressed to find any other "value" that was not a "co-opted" by the Progressive institutions and being used to attain the first two stated core values.

    Yes it did something I read from another source. If you look further down you will find what should have been the first explanatory or starting points with some of what you mentioned. I do not believe the liberals of today have a clue as to what the term meant prior to their spinning along with fascism another. So my apologies I'm having sporadic band width problems and sometimes the tail gets too far behind the horse's nose.

    James Carville once asked the Democrats "Where is the Sacred Ground?" he received no answer.
    Indeed. This whole thing is an artifice to get people elected.

    "Remember the Law Is Only Sacred When It Furthers a Liberal Value."
    Was your first sentence a quote from someone else?
    Before I read the rest of your post, I assumed "Liberal" was being used in the original (European) meaning of supporting freedom, not the American meaning.

    ethically it is altruism, epistemologically it is subjectivism

    This is from observation of course, but it seems to me that the more liberal the individual, the greater the tendency towards relative morality.

    For example, let's agree that stealing is wrong. Now, if I steal your pencil or your car, it's effectively the same act...differing magnitudes do not ameliorate guilt. Let's take that a step further: if I steal your car because I'm going to sell it to a chop shop, or I steal your car because it's an emergency and I needed to get my wife to the hospital, the common thread is that I would have stolen your car, and you would have been deprived of your property. To my way of thinking, it's as simple as that. But not to a liberal. To liberals there are varying degrees of culpability according to the thief's circumstances AND the question arises whether or not you can afford the loss, subjects that are in fact immaterial to the discussion.

    Consistency is certainly not one of them. Liberal used to be making change rapidly acting to the needs of the moment. the greater good concept. Conservative meant changing slowly after due and considered evaluation.

    That would explain why Liberals today are so conservative once in power.

    But I'm perplexed as to what system of Morals and Values the modern liberal subscribes. They certainly have no problem with changing from day to day in actions and definitions. One group the limousine liberals seem to have the 'don't you wish you were rich enough to be a liberal' attitude. When it comes to morals and standards they are not in evidence except to cast negatives on others by looking at themselves to find the description. I don't see anything but live for the moment if it feels good do it.As James Carville once asked the Democrats "Where is the Sacred Ground?" he received no answer.

    I'll leave it at that except to note in the larger sense liberal and left wing and socialist are synonymous changed only by the addition of fascist in nature.

    I also consider Republicans and Democrats to be two parts of one party the left and right wing of the left both believing in government control over citizens and both anti-Constitution which they replaced.de facto and de jure.

    That's the start point. Let loose the dogs of discussion.
