I need to get this book .... anytime a progressive liberal turns into a cultural warrior .... it's a good thing even if the author is British! The book "Guardian Angel" by Melanie Phillips. The article is worth reading to get more background on why the quotes were highlighted.
The below quotes come from award winning British journalist and best-selling (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594031975/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1594031975&linkCode=as2&tag=theboo09-20) author Melanie Phillips’ (http://www.amazon.com/Melanie-Phillips/e/B001K8CD4W/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=theboo09-20)“Guardian Angel (http://www.theblaze.com/books/blaze-books-review-guardian-angel-by-melanie-phillips).” “Guardian Angel” tells the story of how Phillips started her career in British journalism on the Left in the late 1970s, only to become a stalwart Liberal culture warrior, as reflected in her positions on Islam, Israel, feminism, education, economics, environmentalism and a whole host of other issues that have earned her the wrath and contempt of European Leftists, particularly among media peers.
Through demonizing its enemies…the left has…all but destroyed rational discourse.
The left actually abandons the oppressed of the world..all the time weeping crocodile tears for them
Most teachers…were unaware that they were the unwitting troops of a cultural revolution
In the National Health Service…if you were old, feeble, and poor you just didn’t stand a chance.
[Environmentalism is] a deeply regressive..proto-fascist movement for putting modernity into reverse
The destruction of the traditional family had as its real target…destruction of Biblical morality
