Culture War - The Storm More Clearly

What I tried to explain in my last post has been well discussed by many others. Here I cite a good example:

The 'culture war' began perhaps in the 1960's and if you go back and read stuff from those days, it's absolutely incredible what ideas people were experimenting with. The ideology behind abortion rights, radical feminism, social justice and so forth from the perspective of their advocates during that era is frightening. Now, we understand 'lite' versions of all those issues. For example, Americans have always felt strongly about rights and access to prosperity. However, the ideologies of the '60's went far beyond that. They sought to redefine what family means, and rejected religion and self-determination in favor of collective welfare.

Time has made these ideas less mainstream as the commonly accepted elements of the ideologies have been put into place. They opinion leaders, the drivers of rhetoric, the components of the coalitions have not changed though. The same radical ideas of those times are still held by ideologues with influence today. The war was never settled, only delayed.

The pick of Sarah Palin is an escalation if you will. Hence the coming storm. People will come out seeking to fight and win, not to compromise.

We'll see.
