"The Culture War Has Begun"


This strange statement reminds me of the days following 9/11 when Americans were acknowledging that a Terrorism War had begun.

Nonsense!

That War had been going on for many years. The Clinton Administration either didn't recognize that OBL and the Terrorists were at war with us or they recognized it and were afraid to engage!

For decades now, the Culture War has raged. It was raging when:

the ACLU; the National Education Association Union (the largest in America) and its political agenda; Hollywood; People for the American Way; the vast educational bureaucracies in the universities that control teacher training; the liberal media; the liberal law schools and their graduates who became judges--

when all these entities and more, began to do their work at eroding and actually censoring out America's Founding Ideas from the public square, from the nation's textbooks, the Culture War was going on.

Perhaps America's so-called "silent majority" have now been awakened, and they finally are ready to engage in the battle.

It's way past time.

In Germany, in 1933, Hitler burned the books containing the great ideas of liberty and of civilization. Over the past few decades, without lighting a fire, the liberal organizations have been just as efficient in effectively "erasing" the founding ideas from the American mind.

Home schools, private schools, privately funded organizations, and the internet are now enabling many citizens to be exposed to those ideas for the first time, and they like what they've learned.

CBS, NBC, ABC, and the various leftist organizations no longer set the intellectual boundaries for millions of citizens in the so-called "red" or "blue" states.

The Pearl Harbor of the Culture War was the 1947 Everson decision by the US Supreme Court.
