The West: Too Tired to Defend Freedom?

- "We are kidding ourselves if we think we yet live in a tolerant, liberal society" — UK Liberal Democrats party leader Tim Farron, who resigned after giving "politically incorrect" answers on homosexual sex and abortion.
- Wherever he went, Jeremy Corbyn seemed as if he were a voluntary collaborator with an Iranian regime that executes gays. But Corbyn was never questioned about this affiliation the way the media obsessively questioned Farron.
- Muslim supremacists murder gays in Orlando? Instead of being proud of an open society, defending it from Islamic jihadists, and accepting the freedom to be homosexual as a positive difference between the West and Islam, our liberals make it a case for more "inclusion".

Democrats who, after refusing for several days to state whether he
considers homosexual sex a sin, and gave ambiguous answers on abortion,
was not brought to the Tower of London for a public execution. However,
almost 500 years after More, Farron saw his political career sacrificed
on an almost identical ideological altar as More.
Farron resigned his position as party leader with a dramatic speech. The Daily Mail condemned the "liberal fascism" of the "moral pygmies". The progressive New Statesman
headlined its story on Farron's resignation as the "decline of
liberalism". Farron said: "We are kidding ourselves if we think we yet
live in a tolerant, liberal society".
