[Conservative Coulter Fan]

Nobody is saying that you have to abandon the “culture war” — just fight it outside of the political system. You sir, must live in another world, because there are a plethora of leftists who are absolutely determined to pursue a "culture war" and use the the government to enact its policies, coercively foster it through education, law, etc. How does abandoning the culture to the left bring about a strictly limited, decentralized form of republican government? It doesn't!

And sadly, there's also a plethora of "conservatives" who aim to misuse government in exactly the same way. Big government "conservatives" who want a big expensive government to try to force people to be "moral and religious" (to be defined by the big government "conservatives, of course, just the way leftists want to force their socialist definition of "moral" on everyone). "Conservatives" who have bought into the idea that government should be a tool of social engineering have bought into the foundation of socialist thought.
