An excellent read on one of the least expected consequences of this year's election.

Palin explodes the left’s central tenets and feminism’s role in the left’s power plays.

She is a Rorschach test for many, but those who knew about her (on the right, from blogs) had a pretty good idea of her beliefs months ago.

We just didn’t know she would cause spontaneous implosion on the left.

But I can deal with that.

Thanks McCain (or Rove).

Looks to be an interesting read. I especially liked this part:

We are a Judeo-Christian culture, which means we consider those ten things on a tablet to be commandments, not suggestions.

:-)

The author does not overstate the case. If Obama wins it is the beginning of serious Socialism.

Look for a return of the Fairness Doctrine, more PC with possible hate speech laws, more taxes, less gun rights and every other crime against individual sovereignty the socialists have devised. And we will not come back from it without a revolution.

The country will turn into a giant Cook county with permanent corruption and a Nomenklatura of leftists to run it all, empowered by the client masses.

Excellent read which sums up quite a bit quite succinctly. For example highlighting the gridlock in Washington because of the tug-o-war between good and evil, or traditionalists and socialists.

I think this war started in 1992 though instead of today. Perot tapped into the disconnect we see now.

Anyhow, I feel we will lose unless we have lots more babies than them and get the Mexicans on board who are by nature conservative people, at least socially. The Socialist control everything - media - Hollywood and the high population centers. Does not look good long term.

Nice article. I enjoyed it very much. So very insightful, true, and deftly worded the two different sides as well as the varied types of war and which one we are presently in. Well drawn. I wonder could this election be the deciding factor or could it possibly be the first fire of the cannon?

A culture war is something very different from a WWII or a civil war.

Conservatives have been steadily losing the culture wars for decades. In order to understand this its helpful to understand that there are no culture wars in europe.

why not?

the liberals have won.

In order for conservatives to win — they first have to stop losing. that hasn’t really happened yet. I think that it will.

No matter what happens the whole “war” will take place over decades and centuries.

“On one side are the Traditionalists.”

Traditionally, America wins.

I’m not quite sure what “culture war” means. From what I gather, it’s the people who work hard and pay their taxes, vs the people who hardly work and expect taxes will go to pay them. Am I wrong?

The author is kidding himself. Conservatives lost the culture war decades ago largely due to excessive levels of tolerance. The hippies have taken over. I consider myself a counter-revolutionary fighting to roll back the leftist horde.

Good to know what those furriners in Ameica are thinking.

No, in our Civil War it was not "Gettysburg" that was the decisive battle, and any historian knows it. It was "Vicksburg", and when Grant defeated John C. Pemberton at Champion's Hill, the Civil War turned. Champion's Hill actually turned out to be the "decisive battle". With the capture of Vicksburg, the War was decided.

The Eastern Theater was important, but it was also mostly show. It was in the West, at Vicksburg, that the War was decided.

There can be more than one decisive battle. In the Revolution, there were a number — Breed’s Hill, Saratoga, Trenton, Monmouth, Cowpens, Yorktown. Each recovered from a losing situation to a survivable one, or a winning one.

Meyer puts it in a nutshell.
