Liberal

When I can't put my own thoughts into any better words than others already have, I just blog about and link to them...

FIRST THINGS: The Fear of Being Viewed as Insufficiently Progressive

People who are not intimidated by the fear of being thought insufficiently progressive can also consult their common sense. They may even be so bold as to protest that it is morally repugnant to subject children to a social experiment that is manifestly driven by the desire of adults to satisfy their disordered emotional and erotic appetites.

In my continuing battle to find a satisfying hybrid between the stereotypical dichotomy between politically "liberal" and "conservative" (blech!), I found this interview interesting.  I've never heard of this guy before, but it's nice to know there are people out there saying things like this.

What do you think after reading the interview?

A friend of mine is, apparently, a liberal. She's laughing as she reads this, I'll bet, because this fact is, to her, a wonderful, delightful, wise, and glorious thing. But to me it makes no sense. That's because some of the central tenets of what is generally called liberalism today violate what seems to me like common sense, as well as (some of them) violating the clear and simple teaching of scripture. I'm sure she would giddily dig up tenets of what is generally called "conservatism" today and highlight how they violate her definition of "common sense" as well as scriptural teachings.
