Modern American liberalism stems directly from the 1960s counter-culture movement of free love and flower-power. Then, it was considered hip to “drop-out,” not cut your hair, eat granola, and live in the woods. It was all about getting back to Nature. Contemporary liberalism contains much of the same trappings as evidenced in its embrace of the Green movement, the obsession with all things organic, and the success of Whole Foods and Trader Joes. Yet, there is a great imbalance: for, they champion a highly unnatural, and actually extremely unhealthy, way of life – homosexuality. Because, as the CDC reports: “anal sex is an estimated 18X more efficient at transmitting HIV than vaginal intercourse:” henceforth, “homosexual men are 160X more likely to contract HIV than heterosexual men.” With something that is so plainly unhealthy, why would liberals still go against Nature? First of all, here is a quick primer on the main tenants of Natural Law: “Humans have a natural drive to eat, drink, sleep and procreate. These actions are in accord with a natural law for species to survive and procreate. Thus activities in conformity with such a law are morally good. Activities that work against that law are morally wrong. As an example consider that to eat too much or too little and place life in jeopardy is morally wrong.”
The Catholic Church has always upheld Natural Law, expressed most specifically in terms of sexual mores; in “The Catechism of the Catholic Church,” with regards to homosexuality, it states: “…tradition has always declared that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered. They are contrary to the natural law.” Even liberal demi-god Charles Darwin based his theory of “natural selection” on the natural law of procreation, which would later be defined as “survival of the fittest.” But, unlike the Catechism which requires that those who exhibit unnatural or abnormal traits: “…be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity:” Darwin, like Nature herself, is often ruthless and unforgiving: “With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilized men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick…” With this in view, current liberalism actually unknowingly follows the Darwin strain of natural law theory, which abandons the “weak” to self-destruction and eventual extinction; consequently, we have the rise of AIDS. This goes back to the initial fatal misunderstanding back in the 60s, which romantically saw Nature as a free license to throw-off all moral foundations in favor of a do-what-you-will style love-in. It hasn’t worked; evidenced in the rise of sexually transmitted diseases, the curious prevalence of clinical depression, and the epidemic of abortion. Sadly, many have been lost; because they thought they were merely following their in-born character, or following their natural instincts. And, liberals, by promoting this false sort of Social Darwinism, left the gay population to be devoured by the wolves.
