Bob Just says,"pick your party, pick your man, and pick your country. It's your future."
Here are your choices:

They believe there is truth, and that truth is expressed in fixed principles. They guide their thinking by these principles. This allows a person to know what's essential and what is non-essential in achieving goals. It allows a person to choose those goals wisely in the first place and then pursue them wisely and aggressively.

or the contrasting point of view as stated by one Ronald Wilson Reagan,

...a prevailing attitude of many who have turned to a modern-day secularism, discarding the tried and time-tested values upon which our very civilization is based. No matter how well intentioned, their value system is radically different from that of most Americans. And while they proclaim that they're freeing us from superstitions of the past, they've taken upon themselves the job of superintending us by government rule and regulation. Sometimes their voices are louder than ours, but they are not yet a majority.

Fearsome truth from the pen of Osama Bin Laden's former sister-in-law: "Osama bin Laden and those like him didn't spring, fully formed, from the desert sand. They were made. They were fashioned by the workings of an opaque and intolerant medieval society that is closed to the outside world. It is a society where half the population have had their basic rights as people amputated, and obedience to the strictest rules of Islam must be absolute. Despite all the power of their oil-revenue, the Saudis are structured by a hateful, backward-looking view of religion and an education that is a school for intolerance . . . .When Osama dies, I fear there will be a thousand men to take his place."

Orson Scott Card sees High Bias in the media.

What makes the liberal bias in the mainstream media so pernicious is that they deny that they're biased and insist that their twisted version of events is "reality," and anyone who disagrees with them is either mentally or morally suspect. In other words, they're fanatics. And, like all good fanatics, they're utterly convinced that they're in sole possession of virtue and truth.
