Every once and a while somebody comes along that knows an awful lot more about history and political ideology than the average person allowing him to be able to shed enormous amounts of light on contemporary politics. John Fonte is that kind of person. His Why we have a culture war made the culture war perfectly clear to me. One thing reading his stuff makes me think is that conservatives can improve their understanding of politics immensly by studying the left, just because once you understand the leftist religion, the forces driving contemporary political conflicts make a lot more sense.

It's commies in different suits coming back into power. Whatever led us to believe that the destruction of Soviet communism would rid the world of Marxist beliefs? They were just a failed brand. If it was done once it can be done again, there our enemy sits, right next to us, and of course we were warned.

Excellent, thank you! I think these are issues that everyone needs to understand in order to navigate our political minefields. Certainly makes the whole thing much more understandable.
