Liberal's Triumph: A Disaster by Carl Gethmann, Reading, Pennsylvania
Letter to the Editor in New Oxford Review, June 2014
"Having read Christopher Ferrara's book Liberty, the God that Failed, as well as Christopher Zehnder's review of it (Jan.-Feb.), and Ferra and Zehnder's exchange in the letter section (April), I think Mr. Zehnder has missed the most important point made by Mr. Ferrara in his book: that liberalism's triumph constitutes its failure.
It has substituted its own definition of freedom for Catholicism's definition of freedom. Liberalism's "freedom" has resulted in a level of governmental and bureaucratic control of society undreamed of by any past dictatorship.
Disagree with liberalism's "freedom" and you will be fined, jailed, lose your job or business, and be portrayed in the media as a yahoo, a fundamentalist, and a bigot, and told that you are "not welcome" in certain municipalities (as supporters of traditional marriage were by a New York City councilman this April).
Religion is increasingly banned from the public square, just a Locke and Madison desired. [I question this of Locke and Madison]. For the first time in history, we are witnessing the construction of a society that aims to be completely free of religion.
Yes, as Mr. Zehnder says, liberalism has successfully achieved its aims, but even he admits that it is a disaster. And that is why liberty is "the God that failed." which is the overriding point of Mr. Ferrara's book."
George H. Kubeck
The most dangerous and corrupt entity in America is the mainstream media. They are not interested in pursuing the truth but a personal political and social agenda. Honest journalism is dead. This makes possible a false liberalism.
