The tragedy at VA Tech is perfect illustration of the consequences of the creed of non-Judgementalism that has been the ruling doctrine of the Liberal elite that have set the philosophical rules that have guided this country, more or less, since the 2nd World War and, most definitely since the Warren Court rulings in the 1960s and 70s, where all social ills, all "injustices" and all discrimination were made aright by the will of the Liberals in academia, the media and, most importantly, the courts.
It was sickening to hear and read these "Laputians" explain how nothing could be done, really, to stop Cho Seung-Hui without somehow trampling on his "rights" and his individual "autonomy", as if these were some holy writ, instead of newly-established orthodoxies and creeds by the "social science" industry; made into law by activist judges and Liberal politicians during the lamented decades, past.
Most disheartening is that these doctrines are now almost beyond debate; even Conservatives have been brainwashed into accepting them with very little question. Indeed, it seems that the tenured radicals in our universities have accomplished their goals of brainwashing the "knowledge elite" to accept these ideas as established truths. Along with the myriad newly invented rights, the basket of ideas and truths that have become the new conventional wisdom in America (and all the West, really) include the whole politically correct agenda: "multiculturalism"; "diversity"; and above all, non-Judgementalism. Communist brain washers have now been supplanted by the politically correct crowd in the West.
Of course, the Liberals need an excuse for what transpired (woe is them: the killer is an Asian and not some white male red-neck). The blame goes to "the gun lobby" and local (mostly white) small town cops and magistrates who, somehow, did not execute the elaborate rules set up to separate Cho Seung-Hui from the rest of society. Also, the first echoes of the politically correct, racialist explanations about Cho Seung-Hui's "alienation" from a cruel (and racist?) society because of his Asian "background" have begun to be heared. The fact is that guns have been available in America since its founding without any such notable and tragic events occurring. However the license to exercise "freedom" and "autonomy" and the urge to "empowerment" that allow people to act out in this way are of recent vintage.
When will the people of America and Europe wake-up to the nonsense that has been embedded into our society and social norms by the Liberals? The Laputians need to be removed from intellectual primacy in this country.
