Remember the shady campaign contributions from Chinese and Indonesian sources? James Riady? John Huang? The slimy pay-to-play pardons at the end of Slick Willie's second term? Christopher Hitchens does: "In matters of foreign policy, it has been proved time and again, the Clintons are devoted to no interest other than their own. A president absolutely has to know of his chief foreign-policy executive that he or she has no other agenda than the one he has set. Who can say with a straight face that this is true of a woman whose personal ambition is without limit; whose second loyalty is to an impeached and disbarred and discredited former president; and who is ready at any moment, and on government time, to take a wheedling call from either of her bulbous brothers?"
Jonah Goldberg On Kathleen Parker s "G-O-D" Shame - Right Wing News
Commenter Bill Dalasio, a non-religious libertarian conservative, says the threat to his liberty isn't coming from "oogedy-boogedy" social conservatives: "Put bluntly, I can't help but feel I'm being sold a bill of goods here. Progressives, with the full consent of moderates,...chip away consistently and unabashedly at my freedom. All the while, telling me how scared I should be of the religious conservative bogeyman hiding under the bed." He cites smoking restrictions, speech codes, gun laws, the fairness doctrine, and mandatory recycling as examples.
Via the Cranky Conservative, who adds, "The essence of modern liberalism is a quest to perfect society. It really should come as no surprise, therefore, that it is the left that seeks to use government to achieve that end. More often than not, social conservatives are merely fighting against greater government intrusion."
RedState: How To Tell The "Culture Wars" Are Not Over
We can tell, because the Left was actively fighting for cultural hegemony in this election. In fact, the Left has been the aggressor all along:
"The point is this: we have political conflict over social and cultural issues because we have two sides that disagree on a broad range of issues, and neither is willing to change its position. If these issues were actually unimportant or indefensible, the side that was losing elections on them would throw in the towel and adapt its positions, as for example happened with the end of the political battles over segregation and Prohibition. And if cultural liberals disdained conflict, they would never start battles on these issues - yet they do so all the time. Indeed, abortion wasn't an issue in national politics until Roe v. Wade; the NRA wasn't a force in politics until liberal politicians pushed increasingly intrusive gun-control measures."
