You may also want to take a look at this paper,
Why There Is A Culture War, in which the theory of Antonio Gramsci is laid out to be the foundation for today's lefties: The personal IS political; Morality based on groups; and 'organic intellectual reeducation' through the infiltration of institutions that pass on societal values (i.e. tearing down and re-building educational institutions and even/especially churches)...
Also interesting in the paper is what the author calls the rise of 'Toquevillianism' to counter the Gramscian world-view, the 'Trinity of American Exceptionalism', to wit:
(1) dynamism (support for equality of individual opportunity, entrepreneurship, and economic progress);
(2) religiosity (emphasis on character development, mores, and voluntary cultural associations) that works to contain the excessive individual egoism that dynamism sometimes fosters; and
(3) patriotism (love of country, self-government, and support for constitutional limits).
...all three of which make America unique in its march to modernity, and totally at odds with the politically correct crowd... ;-))
Thank you VERY MUCH.
I'm embarking on a personal project. We can't win back the hearts and minds of those in the middle unless we understand 'how' they've been swayed into the Liberal Camp.
I am giving SERIOUS consideration to retiring from my current 'thing' and developing a grassroots effort to re-educate those in the middle. *Sort of a Conservative Gray Panther movement"
