First, the Left, which is largely secular, regards morality not as absolute, but as relative. This inevitably leads to moral confusion, and no one likes to be morally confused. So instead of moral absolutes, the Left holds legal absolutes. "Legal" for the Left is what "moral" is for the Right. The religious have a belief in God-based moral law, and the Left believes in man-made law as the moral law.

Second, whereas they cannot change God's laws, those on the Left can and do make many of society's laws. In fact, the Left is intoxicated with law-making. It gives them the power to mold society just as Judeo-Christian values did in the past. Unless one understands that leftist ideals function as a religion, one cannot understand the Left.

I'm not exactly sure what I want to say about this beyond the fact that I enthusiastically agree with his contention. The Left's love of the law and denial of an absolute right and wrong became especially annoying to me during the Iraq war, which Prager also goes over a bit in his article...

Whatever their feelings about George W. Bush or about attacking Iraq, for most of those on the Left, the rightness or wrongness of toppling Saddam Hussein's regime was determined by its legality (i.e., whether it was authorized by the U.N. Security Council). On the other hand, for those who supported attacking Iraq, whether the war was deemed legal played no role in their assessment of its rightness or wrongness.
To those who supported removing Saddam Hussein by force, if the United Nations did not authorize it, it was a reflection on the morality of the United Nations, not the morality of the war.

So, anyway, it seems like we've got a pretty good MC on our hands for the event, and if anyone in the LA area is interested in attending tickets start at $250 and its on October 19th in Santa Monica.

I feel really out of it today. I just want to go home and play some DOTA (Frozen Throne) and watch the news with my hunny.
