A Clash of Cultures: The Bourgeois vs. the Burning Man

Let me make clear something that professor Wax's "Anglo-Protestant" comment implies: America's "bourgeois values" are superior because they are, essentially, Christian values. Thus, a bourgeois culture is superior because it is essentially a Christian culture, and that ultimately is why the left attacked Wax's and Alexander's piece. As The Miracle and Magnificence of America – and any other sound account of U.S. history – reveals, America was founded by Christians and upon Christian values and principles. The death, disease, and moral rot so prevalent in much of America today is there because many of us have abandoned these values and decided to make our own rules.

Nowhere is this clearer than with the obscene "Burning Man Festival" just finished in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. In what could be billed as a liberal utopia, the Burning Man Festival – often referred to simply as "Burning Man" (B.M.) – has been notoriously noted for its nude welcoming committee, "mass lesbian romps," obscene sculptures, and human petting zoo. And what festival organized, occupied, and run by those corrupted by liberalism would be complete without an "Orgy Dome"? But it's conservatives who are "obsessed with sex," right?

ee what can happen in a mere 15 seconds?

I know, right? But they both survived because the same article appeared on two different blogs.

What struck me was the different directions the FR comments took to the same article on the two threads.

I’ve been twice. The 2nd time is when we could see the rich liberals coming in and ruining it.
