TARGET: MORALISM
The Greatest Threat to a Free Society

Speciosus vestri mos in alius est dominatus.

The "Target: Moralism" series started in 1999 as a general look at what I saw as the REAL source of evil in society. I noticed that there were certain tactics and arguments that repeated themselves over and over. These tactics and arguments were far from representative of a free society, and in fact were seen as indications of a tyrannical form of government.

The purpose of this series is to expose moralism AS the social evil that it is, in hopes that we can find ways to defeat it at home so that we can encourage REAL freedom to other parts of the world.

Each chapter in the "Target: Moralism" series exposes certain elements of moralism, from their various abuses of power, to the way they worm into positions of authority, to how they recruit others into their cause. It identifies what moralism IS as well as what it is NOT, and it shows how their continued tyranny sabotages any concept of freedom and individuality in society.

"First they came..."
(the moralist version)

First the moralists came for the paintings…
And I said nothing because I didn’t own them.

Then they came for the sculptures…
And I said nothing because I didn’t care for art.

Then they came for the books and magazines…
And I said nothing because I didn’t read them.

Then they came for the burlesque shows…
And I said nothing because I didn’t visit those places.

Then they came for talk radio and racy TV shows…
And I said nothing because I didn’t like those programs.

Then they came for the rap albums and music videos…
And I said nothing because I didn’t care for them.

Then they came for the Internet…
And I said nothing because I didn’t visit "those" web sites.

Then they came for the rest of the things that they found objectionable…
And I still said nothing because I didn’t like those things either.

And then they came for the things that I DID like…
And by then there was nobody left to speak for me.

(From Target: Moralism - Part 10, by David Matthews 2, based on the original poem by Pastor Niemoler)
