More than any other time in my lifetime, and perhaps with the rise of Fox news and the internet as a forum for democratic endeavors, the voice of non liberal ideology is clamoring more and more for our attention and to be fed with our smiles and applause. This is a social disease and needs to be addressed. America was built on liberal ideals and functions as a democracy due to forgiveness for discourse. I must say that I am constantly barraged with anti liberal propeganda, both from the right and also from the radical left. Its on television on Fox news all day long and in my visits to orthodox Jewish web sites, its a constant pull of the opinionated, yet vastly uninformed. I do not believe that liberalism is an extreme or an indignity. Its a benevolent force aimed at encompassing the greatness of humanity and permitting that which is begging for dignity to exist along with that which is given worth. I must say that this does not mean allow a lawless society or a permissive existence. Permissiveness is always lumped together with liberal thought. Though they have their common interests, they do not exist together in our minds and must be seen as separate entities. Liberalism however, does not destroy the integrity and rights of those who exist in a permissive state. Thats liberalism. Nonliberalism which is erroneously nominated conservativism is a force which seeks to penalize and destroy the integrity and freedom that a person has to be permissive in their day. Its not a liberal ideal to be permissive. This may refer to those who wish to avoid wearing seatbelts, have uncommitted relationships that involve sexual intercourse, eat excessively, view illicit pornography, or any other social deviance that is deemed off limits from a puritanical or orthodox religious viewpoint. I do not personally support a lifestyle of permissive living, though I will fight for your right to experience this if it does not violate my human rights or the human rights of another person.
Non liberalism is a pattern of self hatred that exists in the mind of those fearful of social progress and social revolution. This is a sad state of affairs that is excessively rampant and celebrated with impunity. I do hope that my work over time will awaken the soul to the liberalism that is truely Godly in my opinion and serves to further mankinds cause.
