Facing the Facts in 2011: America's Culture War and How to Fight It

As America enters the year of 2011, new government officials are taking their seats all over the nations, at all levels of government. If our nation is to survive and thrive (neither of which has been happening in recent years), we must all face certain fundamental facts and act accordingly. In this "Briefing" we take an overview of key facts, which we will examine in more detail in later "Briefings." Three such facts are:

1. America is, and has for decades been, engulfed in the flames of a Culture War;

2. The Constitution has long been a white-hot center of this War and we therefore must Revive the Constitution!;

3. The Courts continue to be the major "weapon of choice" of the forces fighting against the Constitution and the culture in the Culture War.

As a part of their anti-Constitution, anti-America campaign, some of these enemies try to deny that there even is such a thing as a "Culture War." But Judge and jurist Robert Bork decisively eliminates this argument: "Despite the denials by some that any such conflict exists, the culture war is an obtrusive fact." As Roger Kimball observed in 2000, "[a war within a culture] results first of all in a metamorphosis in values and the other conduct of life." And, continues Bork, "Courts inevitably assume the role of moral teachers."
