Will someone write a book “Gomorrah, next stop. End of the line!”?
Bork covered the details of the takeover of the dem party with essentially the cultural elitists riding to power on the back of the boomers.. The final battle was at the '68 dem convention with the boomers rioting on the streets of Chicago and the cultural elitists rioting on the floor of the convention. One of the main combatants there was Dan Rather who was roughed up and knocked to the floor.
After the take over of the dem party, the GOP used Nixon's Southern Strategy to bring the cultural populists out of the dem party into the GOP. Nixon's Silent Majority of the 70s morphed into the Moral Majority of the 80s.
So the GOP rode to power on this coalition between the economic elitists and cultural populists.
Unfortunately, the coalition is now falling apart. The GOP elitists and the GOP populists are in a fight to the death.
As an add-on, let me mention Bork's definition of the cultural elitists or cultural Marxists, "those who make their living off of words and language".
This would include entertainers like actors and Hollywood and the music industry, anybody in the "arts". Also educators. Lawyers like the ABA. Media people. Bureaucrats.

Even worse, they don't know WHAT it is, either. Here's a clue for them:
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)
[ The trolls don’t know where GOMORRAH is ]
It is in the bible silly...
When Clinton was re-elected in 1996, I knew that our nation’s path was destined for a race to the abyss. The facts were ALL there, all the disclosures about his rapes and infidelities seemed to make him more popular, and to my chagrin, even Christians were in on that act, saying that who are we to judge? We are to judge those who would lead us by a more strict measurement than we do one another, I would think. Of ALL the places one would want a self-controlled, moral charactered-man/woman, it would be in the WH.
Christians fell for the same old ploy almost every candidate employs: calling themselves a born again Christian, talking about reading their Bibles and how that book was important in their lives. REALLY? That was really evident, wasn’t it? I could understand being elected the first time, but the 2nd? Same with Obama. We knew he was no true believer, but the same old ploys were used and the leftwing nut Christians just had to save their boy. There is NO evidence whatsoever in ANYTHING this president does that marks his so-called christian testimony as true. But people are still afraid to say that he isn’t. No wonder our churches have no witness, our homes are failing, our once sound institutions have crumbled. There are no godly men left to make a firm stand, and the VERY few who do are equally criticized by so-called christians who say that real christians should not sully their names by running for office. It has ceased to amaze me that some of the very so-called Christians who lament the decline of our culture denigrate any christian who wants to try to save our country by serving in a godly manner, hoping to help turn the culture back. We have no one to blame but ourselves if this doesn’t change, and soon.
Yes, we will “pick ourselves up again” indeed, our collapse is going to be rough but the result I believe will be very positive at the other side. So, with a healthy dose of fear but also optimism of the future I am resolved to not having a boring old age!
Amen to all you wrote!
This is why I’m against going back to the ‘old values’ of America. We can’t go back and trying to go back will only cripple us more. “The good old days” had a lot of problems as well. Frankly moving full speed ahead is exhilarating.
