Koblog hit the nail on the head. Modern Liberalism with the Courts as its hammer and the media as its voice box has built a world where this had to happen and will continue happening.
And here I will separate myself from Koblog if only to keep from incorrectly and inadvertently tying him/her to the rest of my opinions… Anyone who’s studied the progress and evolution of modern liberal thought and politics in America starting circa 1950 (probably earlier, more like early to mid 40′s) knew it was only a matter of time. If you’re the type that wants to fight tooth and nail to drive home the idea that a woman is wholly and without restriction free to do as she likes with her own body and that the institution of marriage and the idea of family are dirty conservative ideals you really can’t be surprised that this is the result. While those ideas may (and I stress may) apply to an already grown emotionally mature and responsible adult woman who is prepared both personally and fiscally to accept the consequences, the liberal education system’s policy has been to drive the idea home to ever younger generations of young women. Well guess what, 18 girls have now taken advantage of the right to use their own bodies in whatever way they saw fit. Congrats everybody. Worked a treat didn’t it? I’m not opposed to the fact that a woman’s body is her own and I’m not opposed to a person’s individual rights. What I am opposed to is the idea that personal responsibility has no place in social discussion to temper the exercise of those rights. So perhaps I should revise my statement; it’s not the liberal idea regarding one’s rights to one’s own body that’s flawed, it’s the liberal idea that demanding personal responsibility is somehow an infringement on those rights that has bred the perfect storm of adolescent misguidance.
And as an aside to Mohammed, I’m hoping that was just an attempt to get people riled up. If not I’ll maintain my composure by simply saying, we don’t tolerate that Sharia crap in America and we never will. We address the problem, face it head on, come together as a community and as a nation and do what we can to help those caught up in it. We do not kill the person that needs help or improved guidance.
