The author seems to suggest that nationalism is synonymous with the 'right' and then suggests that somehow the Right won the the post-30s culture war.

That is about as ahistorical as it gets.

After Pearl Harbor Americans became more patriotic, more religious, and more democratic after Pearl Harbor. The institutions of American culture were changed. Media, art, music all became more appreciative of American democracy and less appreciative of foreign “utopias.”

I think the author is overreaching here in his attempt to connect 12-7 to 9-11.
We didn't drop the idea of 'utopias' until the war was over.  Uncle Joe was still our ally, after all.  We didn't become steeply anticommunist until the fifties.

The liberals are becoming increasingly marginalized as more is known about them.

Yes.....Thanks to the Fox News, talk radio, internet..... AXIS OF TRUTH!

As ordinary Americans are learning about who is operating their cultural institutions and as they learn that they have not been told the truth, those institutions will change.

Ohhh....Ohhh...I smell another HISSY FIT, coming soon to an election near us.
