Exactly!

An interesting if philosophical essay from One Cosmos, from which I find this paragraph to precisely define the problem we face politically today in America, and which perfectly explains the reasons the Democrats/Progressives/Liberals seem so willing to toss aside, without a thought, the laws and morals generally considered to be the foundation of American success.

  "This is what I mean when I gently inform uncomprehending "integralists" that the left is not the complement of conservative liberalism, but its very negation. A true political complementarity would have to share the same first principles, which was more or less the case in America until the 1960s. Today, the problem is not that we differ with the left over this or that policy issue. Rather, they have entirely different first principles, principles which are not rooted in the Constitution, in American tradition, and certainly not in transcendent reality (i.e., the vertical)."
