Liberalism proposes double standards of intellectual, moral and professional competence, teaching minorities that they can get away with less. No one is responsible under liberalism. If conservatives seek to hold anyone responsible for their condition, it is out of a mean-spirited impulse to blame the victim. I used to believe all this, but then I embraced a worldview that I have recently come to call the Oseola McCarty principle. Oseola McCarty's example tells us that the poverty problem in America is not about jobs and it is not about racism.
Poverty is about individual failure.
It is about family dysfunction, character disorder and self-destructive behavior. That is what Oseola McCarty's achievement means. So it can be for anyone liberated from the philosophy of liberalism. Keep us from the charity of those who would chain us to their benevolence with lifetime handouts. Spare us the compassion of these saviors who secretly despise us, who think that we cannot compete on our merits, or live up to the moral standards they expect of themselves.
