    Are We Entering a Post-Liberal Era?


    Are We Entering a Post-Liberal Era?
    By Michael Brown Published on December 16, 2016
    https://stream.org/entering-post-liberal-era/

    In his December 9th article "Has the Trumpian Revolution Begun?," long-time conservative commentator Patrick Buchanan dared to say that, with the Trump presidency, "we may be entering a post-liberal era." Could it be true?

    According to Buchanan, "Liberalism appears to be a dying faith. America's elites may still preach their trinity of values: diversity, democracy equality. But the majorities in America and Europe are demanding that the borders be secured and Third World immigrants kept out."

    But it is not just political liberalism whose demise Buchanan is tentatively predicting. He also suggests that moral and cultural liberalism could be on the wane as well. He writes, "As Hegel taught, in the dialectic of history the thesis calls into existence the antithesis. What we seem to be seeing is a rejection, and a counterreformation against the views and values that came out of the social and political revolutions of the 1960s."

    What? A counterreformation against the radical cultural shifts and moral changes that came out of the counterculture revolution of the 1960s, a revolution that birthed radical feminism, gay activism, and sexual anarchy?

    For years we have been told that liberalism had triumphed and that conservative morality was a thing of the past.

    For years we have been told that "progressivism" owned the future and that traditionalists were a dying breed, soon to be replaced irrevocably by a younger, enlightened generation....



    ...Inevitably, at some point, the radical leftist agenda has always been doomed to fail, and there is now a push back against the left's overplaying of its hand, which includes: forcing transgender activism into our children's schools; declaring that phrases like "ladies and gentlemen" are transphobic and sexist; students at the University of Pennsylvania replacing "a hallway portrait of William Shakespeare with a photograph of lesbian activist Audre Lorde" — apparently Shakespeare was just too white and too male; and Oregon State University offering a course on "African American resistance to Trump."

    These radical agendas can only go so far before the people begin to push back, and that it is partly what happened with the recent elections.

    Enough with the divisive ways of identity politics. Enough with the attack on traditional American values. Enough with the assault on our religious freedoms. Enough....


    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    I'm not quite as confident as Buchanan is. I just don't see it. If you look at the popular vote the country is basically divided down the middle and the left is MUCH more vocal and in control of the media than the right.

    But still overconfident that they will decimate all opposition to their future worldwide utopia.

    I'm not necessarily signing on, but it is interesting.

    I do think that there is a window of time being opened, but after that...

    We run in in "bubbles", stock market bubbles are fairly short cycles, real estate bubbles a wee bit longer, we just experienced a doozy in that sector but are probably heading for another one. The big bubble that just popped is the government bubble, it's a very long cycle but a predictable cycle nonetheless.

    It's not really a liberal/conservative thing (a false paradigm parroted by many), it's a push back on too much government (broadly).

    I told you about it here...

    Michael Brown, Bernie Goldberg mislead you, try to partition your mind into a tiny corner.

    It's all fake liberal vs. fake conservative, join the division and feel good about it, but you'll remain ignorant!

    The loony liberals are licking their wounds and planning their next assault....satan will inspire them to come up with more godless agendas and I wouldn't write them off

    Look at Leonardo DiCaprio he has upped his global warming agenda while pumping tons of CO2 into the atmosphere using private jets
    It truly is amazing watching the hypocrisy of liberals who say they care

    No, we certainly are not! Liberalism is even worse now than it was a decade ago. I see what's happening as a gathering tsunami. It will gain momentum as time goes by until we are engulfed in a fully anti-Christian, sensuality addicted, gender-bending, baby-killing, decadent nation. if we look at this election and think liberalism is dying, we're absolutely nuts....which may be the case anyway.

    Liberalism will bring this country down. The end is near. The only thing that will save us is a revival that will wake up the church from her spiritual sleep.
