#4  That's very encouraging if it is confirmed in the medium/long run; the worst part of the "culture war" (aka the relentless assault of the Forces of Progress against traditional western values) is that it is in fact absolutely one-sided, with the "progressist" alwys on the offensive, and the conservatives always on the defensive. If the momentum truly shifts, this is very encouraging for the USA.

#3  That's too bad, 5089. But there is a real shift in attitudes and dialog in the majority of the US. Even in places like DC and CA, the leftie loons are finding themselves on the defense instead of offense these days. Their cliques are getting tighter and more shrill, but they are getting smaller and more careful about who they spew their venom to.

#1  Great article. I also have a slightly different observation. What has changed since 911 is the dialog in western nations. It went from arguing over the merit of lack thereof of destructive liberal ideals, when liberals were actually being given credit for their clotted jargon and illogical ideas. Today serious people have begun talking about the real threats we face to our democracy and freedom and those who proclaim theselves to be enlightened liberals are now being told to shut up, sit down and get a clue.
