Our Straightjackets

The current propaganda is making a very hospitable habitat for relativism. I was reminded of Benedict XVI's phrase "the dictatorship of relativism" and how currently we have no absolute standard of right and wrong, of good and evil and that this is manifested in the insanity that seems to be rampant in the current asylum we are now patients in. Our straightjackets are the ad hominem attacks of 'racist', 'sexist', 'homophobe' that keep us so timid about expressing any kind of opinion which can conceivably be twisted to make the 'hater' label stick. Who would've ever thought that this is how our first amendment right would be thwarted?
