Like I said, What "rampant liberalism?"
Where are these swelling numbers of organized left-wingers, poised to take over the country and turn it into a giant commune?
The country is full of right-leaning and centrist capitalists that are more conservative than ever.
As for groups avoiding personal responsibility, you only have to look for the behavior of those large corporations (which are not really liberal, I don't think) to show where the country is going.
Greed and power will let people forget about being responsible if they think that they can get away with it.
Let's not forget the leader of the Republican Revolution, Newt Gingerich, who took divorce papers to his wife while she was undergoing cancer treatment in a hospital, and who got caught making some rather shady money while in office.
And our illustrious president, who was a alcoholic frat boy for half his life and who ran a couple of businesses into the ground before sobering up just in time to be installed in the highest office of the land.
So, you see you can't blame the lack of responsible behavior purely on the (hard to find) "liberals".

I am not talking about a political party. I'm talking about a mentality growing in our country, which leads to...

I was not referring to groups, but to individuals.

Hehe, I don't particularly care for Newt.

That's quite a bit of smear tactics, don't you think? Although there are some things I don't like about this administration's policies, I still respect Bush as a man, and I respect his role as our leader.

You misunderstood me. I don't blame "liberals" for loss of personal responsibility, I blame the concept and mentality of modern liberalism. It has crept into all political parties.
