THE SEISMIC SHIFT YOU HAVEN’T HEARD ABOUT: No, it’s not the move of young male voters to the Trump/Republican column, important as that certainly is in the political calculations of the days ahead.
But politics is downstream from culture and culture is downstream from you know what, and that’s where the most important — and totally unexpected — shift in the tectonic plate underlying the American experience is happening. Read all about it in my latest PJMedia column.
In the former home of Mahatma Gandhi, we find the following quote, prominently posted:
“It is doubtful that the efforts of the Mahatma would have succeeded except that he was appealing to the conscience of a Christianized people”
— Bertrand Russell
So here we have, posted in the home of a Buddhist, the words of a militant atheist, extolling the virtues of Christianity.
So much for the argument that the judeo-christian ethic is not Central to Western culture. The constant claim that the judeo-christian ethic is an evil to be overcome is similarly bombed out of existence.
At the bottom line culture exists, and it matters.
I have repeatedly said over the years and hold today that America could not have been created as such with Islam as its cultural philosophy. Nor any of the pantheistic religions, nor atheism.
When the Democrats tell you that they want to make America over, fundamentally change america, remember that it’s no accident that they consistently try to overcome Christianity and its part in the foundation of our unique American culture.
The good news of course as Mark points up is that we are moving back toward the traditional American culture.
