Fighting postmodernism
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2...rnism.html

Defines the Democrats:

"...So the first thing that you might want to know about Postmodernism is that it doesn't have a shred of gratitude -- and there's something pathologically wrong with a person that doesn't have any gratitude, especially when they live in what so far is the best of all possible worlds. So if you're not grateful, you're driven by resentment, and resentment is the worst emotion that you can possibly experience, apart from arrogance. Arrogance, resentment, and deceit. There is an evil triad for you....

So here's what the postmodernists believe: They don't believe in the individual. That's the logos. Remember, Western culture is Phallogocentric. Logo is logos. That's partly the Christian word, but is also partly the root word of logic.

Okay, they don't believe in logic.

They believe that logic is part of the process by which the patriarchal institutions of the West continue to dominate and to justify their dominance. They don't believe in dialogue. The root word of dialogue is logos -- again, they don't believe that people of good will can come to consensus through the exchange of ideas. They believe that that notion is part of the philosophical substructure and practices of the dominant culture.

So the reason they don't let people who they don't agree with speak on campus, is because they don't agree with letting people speak.

You see it's not part of the ethos.

Okay, so what else do they believe or not believe?

They believe that since you don't have an individual identity, your fundamental identity is group fostered, and that means that you're basically an exemplar of your race...."

RE: Fighting postmodernism
It's helpful to understand the concept of modernism.

Simply (well, very simply) modernism was the process of thinking that arose during the enlightenment, or the age of reason. Modernism sought to find truth in science and logic and rejected the didactic truth of the church.

Another way to think of postmodernism is the absence of absolutism. This can be interpreted as meaning that there is no absolute value in anything. Postmodern criticism finds equivalence between the Mona Lisa and a child's finger painting; both are equally valued art.

Did I say simple? Well, that was pretty simple, but accurate.
