Sneak Attack in the Culture Wars, Part II

Well, all they’ve done is awaken the forces, strengthened our resolve.  Enough was finally enough.  Finally.  When the other guy throws a grenade in your living room, staying on the sidelines is no longer an option.

 

The counter-punches were swift and strong, as the Heartland rose up in indignation.  Perhaps you wrote a protest letter for the first time in years, if not ever.  The NFL & CBS couldn’t apologize profusely enough (whether sincere or not).  The FCC kicked into gear.  The silent majority made an impact, because they finally spoke up.

 

The tide was already starting to turn in the Culture Wars (more on this later), but the debacle of Janet & Justin will prove to be the tipping point that leads to committed mobilization of the great mass of troops on the other side.  Hang on to your proverbial muskets, be minuteman-ready, keep your powder dry, and don’t shy away from the battle.
