Dinesh D’Souza’s review of Dalia Mogahed and John Esposito’s Who Speaks for Islam found at (townhall - 1), further substantiates, empirically, that abusive liberalism has and continues to cause most of the worlds’ problems.  By numerically differentiating socially acceptable mores and norms from abusive liberal agendas that embrace fringe objectives, supportable conclusions couched in honest scientific analysis has been derived.  Applying the same criteria to other current American problems like crime and gang violence, war on terror and sexual exploitation we find the same underlying denominator, abusive liberalism.

Blessed and cursed with the inalienable right to free speech, America is prone to spawning divergent minority societal elements that tend to fill social voids, or reinforce some primordial instincts.  Aberrant abusive liberal activities and political agenda promotions that coincide are not the norm and, historically, usually result in society imposing harsh conservative expectations on the entire plebiscite, or population, after it tires, or collectively rejects the alien mores and norms being espoused.  The “Roaring Twenties” in America and Germany are examples of somewhat recent abusive liberalism and the reactions taken by the “moral majority” after an unsupportable financial bottom disappeared.

Pope Benedict’s recent visit to America and the obvious positive response he drew from Catholics and other Christian denominations could be, along with our current political introspections and possible economic recession, the “turning point” in this abusive liberal cycle.  The necessary historical ingredients (i.e. financial disorder, rejection of moral decay and crime and introspection) are coming to a boil and will, predictably, result in most Americans demanding their “core values” be respected.  Having been relentlessly pummeled by an abusive liberal agenda driven mainstream media and press since the anti-war days of the late sixties and seventies, the 86% of Americans that believe in God are aggressively migrating back to their core values and beliefs.  The general election on November 4, 2008, could very well be the coupe d’ grate for the ailing mainstream media and press that the majority of Americans have come to realize are out of step with their values and morals.

As indicated by the two studies referenced in Dinesh D’Souza’s review, far more people around the world appreciate America’s core values and morals compared to those promoted by abusive liberals.  In fact, there appears to be an international consciousness that liberalism, or socialism creates more problems than it solves.
