By modern morality, do you mean liberalism? The title of this article is a copout. Liberalism is merely being taken to its natural conclusion. Welcome to the world you wanted!

Interesting think piece. I'm not sure I can concur with all your closing paragraph/conclusions, but I'll ponder. Does seem to have a USA-centric flavor, though, much like de Tocqueville in its focus on demonization in politics.

Are you making the case that all parties in our contemporary stew (left, right, whatever) have subscribed to the negative morality formulation? I might buy that, but I'm sure some culture warriors in the current scrum would beg to differ.
