Buchanan went mano a mano with Barney Frank in a duel to
the death over the drection of American society? No, neither do I.
Yet the supposed "culture war" between liberals and conservatives
keeps resurfacing as a concept, if only as a convenient way to
frame evolving views on social issues in a partisan red/blue way
sufficiently simplified so that even political journalists and
government officials can understand. I
appeared on HuffPost Live as part of a panel discussing just
where the so-called culture war has taken us. Mostly, in a
direction of greater tolerance and personal liberty, I would say,
on social issues from gay marriage to guns. On economics ... well
... that's up in the air.
On the panel, hosted by Ricky Camilleri, I was joined by Mark
Glaze, Director, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Matt Lewis of The
Daily Caller and The Week, and Vickie Henry, Senior
Attorney at the Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders.
