There is a basic inconsistency in these "postmodern" pundits: They say there are no absolutes; but they proclaim their ideas as though they are absolute truths, and anyone who does not accept them is a pariah. They say there is no such thing as good or evil; but if you cross them, they declare you evil. They are unable to live by their own doctrines, which is a pretty good indicator that their doctrines are false.

Brad, I'm looking forward to this series. You say in the introduction "In the end, I am offering an exhortation and defense of the true liberal ideal." The true liberal ideal primarily needs championing, not defending. This may on the surface be a minor detail but I think it's an important strategic distinction as we need to play offense (=champion) to win this war. It's the enemies of the true liberal ideal that should be on the defense, having a ~6,000 year miserable track record of collectivism to answer for, whether of the welfare statist, authoritarian, or totalitarian kind. Cheers!
