Moral Standards Have been replaced by feelings.
This latest study cited by David Brooks confirms what conservatives have known for a generation: Moral standards have been replaced by feelings. Of course, those on the left only believe this when an “eminent sociologist” is cited by a writer at a major liberal newspaper.

Good and evil are no more real than “yummy” and “yucky.” They are simply a matter of personal preference.
