Excerpts from Chapter 2: Beliefs of Modern Liberal

Modern Liberals have temporarily given up the revolutionary fervor and now insist that they are for “progress,” but the impulses are fundamentally the same: creating a new society according to a grandiose and fanciful vision. Most of today’s Modern Liberals are simply conforming to the road plan created before, and they only see isolated movements, agendas, and crusades—optimum health care for every single person, a flawlessly clean environment, world peace, the complete eradication of poverty, each individual being fulfilled or the end of all prejudice—and they do not see the overall picture. As the cliché goes, they cannot see the forest for the trees.

Ultimately, Modern Liberals renounce the premise that there are Natural Rights, and they inherited this legacy from the Progressives in the early twentieth century. The Progressive John Dewey spoke for them when he wrote that freedom is not “something that individuals have as a ready-made possession,” but it is “something to be achieved,” and that “natural rights…exist only in the kingdom of mythological social zoology.”

Modern Liberals conceive that society, not individuals themselves, is responsible for the people’s well-being. Since society itself cannot actually rectify the mistakes that have resulted in problems, it is up to the central power—the federal government—to ensure it is done. In other words, the federal government is required to use its power to weed out and fix the root causes of problems, which lie in society itself, not in individuals. In the imagination of Modern Liberals, any time individuals commit acts that are disruptive to others, it is a sign that something is amiss in society, and the federal government is needed to search for the antecedents and rectifythem.

Ultimately, Modern Liberals’ social engineering is for the purpose of changing us. Hillary Clinton represents the agenda of Modern Liberals when she said: “We are not interested in social reconstruction; it’s human reconstruction.” In her book, It Takes a Village, everything is the State; the State is needed to help citizens raise their children.

Modern Liberals are convinced that America is the primary danger to the world. According to Modern Liberals, America is responsible—directly or indirectly—for most wars, genocide, famine, poverty, and terrorism. Modern Liberals see America as the main threat to the world’s environment. Many of the them emphasize environmental issues because this touches on everything from what we wear, how we travel, and even what we eat; it also serves the additional function of being anti-capitalist because “profits” can be linked to harming the environment.
