"Economics when on defense, Culture when on offense"

(More thoughts inspired by Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism)

It was only when the National Socialists (Nazis) had the upper hand that they dropped their economic arguments in favor of opposing a new cultural order. The same thing is happening now in America, albeit not the same agenda: racial quotas, mainstreaming gay culture, scrubbing the public square of Christianity - these are explicit cultural ambitions. When on defense (not yet in power), they emphasize economics, when on offense, they emphasize cultural issues. Liberals are the aggressors in the culture wars. The left is dishonest when it pretends that it is not in the business of imposing its values on others.

Hitler banned religious charity, crippling the churches' role as a counterweight to the state. Clergy were put on government salary, hence subjected to state authority. "The parsons will be made to dig their own graves," Hitler cackled. "They will betray their God to us. They will betray anything for the sake of their miserable little jobs and incomes."

In 1935 mandatory prayer in school was abolished in Germany. The school prayer decisions in the 1960s in America cleared the way for a new political religion with the Supreme Court playing the role as primary engine of social change. Roe v. Wade was another example of the Court ordering that religion and religiously informed morality have no place in public affairs.

Have you head of "Whiteness Studies?" Apparently it is a cutting edge academic discipline sweeping American higher education. "The white male is the Jew of liberal fascism," writes Goldberg.
