To diagnose the fundamental error of liberalism, we must first presuppose a proper anthropology of man as a political animal. Any political theory rooted in the assumption that man is an isolated atom, consisting of protons and neutrons, is doomed to absurdity and failure — for man, qua rational animal, is significantly bigger than that, and is thus ill-suited to constitute the fundamental building-blocks of the chemical elements.
Liberalism — with its absurd insistence on Ockhamistic nominalism, Cartesian body-self dualism, and lurid half-naked scenes in movies that are rivalled in concupiscence only by the theological perversions of Vatican II — is doomed from the very outset, having succumbed to the Pelagian error of Gnosticism and the Kantian error of Humeanism.
Having abandoned the lex naturalis and a proper Thomistic metaphysics of essentia, children reared under today’s liberal order are helplessly indoctrinated in a manner contrary their natural ratio, and cannot even read Latin in a manner befitting their natures as rational animals in potentia.
Observe the disastrous consequences of this modern philosophy: a world of communion in the hand, and of two men holding each other’s; a world of celebrated concupiscence and concupiscent celebration; a world of “so-called” “same-sex” “marriage”.
Shall the Left be vanquished by sheer political power? The very notion is absurd — an absurd notion of the absurdity of modernism. The Left shall only lose power when our culture replaces the Finnis-Grisez New Natural Law Theory with the Thomistic Classical Natural Law Theory, embraces a hylomorphic politics of the common good, and revives the Traditional Latin Mass of yore. Only then shall the lex humana serve the bonum commune, as the Founding Fathers intended.

This is like an integralist version of the postmodern essay generator, and just as accurate as to the subject matter.

It’s the triple scare quotes that do it.
