Dennis Prager has a well written argument that Liberalism is killing itself intellectually by replacing thought with feelings. Definitely a must read.
Next time you read an op-ed piece from the Liberal side, look for the list of buzz words that Mr. Prager postulates and see if he isn't correct in his premise.
Here are the lists:
Applied to anything Liberals are against:
Racist
Sexist
Homophobic
Islamophobic
Imperialist
Bigoted
Intolerant
Applied to anything they are for:
Peace
Fairness
Tolerance
The poor
The disenfranchised
The environment
Break down the arguments in any op-ed piece and you will come to find that thought has been replaced with these buzz words; the first list being used to dismiss the others sides argument with no furthur need of rebuttal with reasoned argument, and the second list being used to buttress their contentions as being "good for:_______" without taking account of any possible negative consequences stemming from the proposed action.
