That "religious liberty" thing

Rod Dreher

Conservatives want organizations and employers empowered by government to impose their own rules of private conduct and their own personal values, especially as regards sex, on their employees.

They bitch endlessly about lost liberty when, in the name of employee liberty, the government denies employers the power they want.

This is of a piece with the fundamental view of conservatives that government power exists only to empower the strong to do what they will with the weak.

That is, to empower property owners to exert maximum control over those without property.

Now if only the White House would provide a like protection for employees' free speech rights.

Oh, what's that, you say?

It's not really about protecting employee liberty but attacking traditional morals and religion in the name of PC?

Oh.

I see.
