I'm not even sure what 'cultural self-loathing' is; I don't know any liberals who 'loathe' anyone's culture.  You make the same mistake as Mr. Goldberg rather arrogant claim: you assume liberals 'scorn' Pence's values.  It is not scorn we feel, but rather a concern that he will impose his philosophy on the country.  Otherwise, why even make his views so public?
