Godless liberal sickos win again, Mark Morford
Your old-world grandmother will refuse to believe it. Your Southern cousin will likely shake his head like he’s throwing off lice, completely unwilling to process. Rick Santorum will, with any luck and God’s good graces, spontaneously combust. And of course, the NRA will shudder and reload in a panic because, honey, they’re afraid of everything.
It does not matter. Let the reactions come, the paranoia ensue, the bitter ashes of past injustices dissipate into the wind. For lo, a raft of hard-fought – and fairly radical – cultural changes hath finally come, and the changes are good and the changes are righteous and the changes, as MLK knew and your Republican friends are loathe to admit, are toward the progressive and the just. You know, just like always.
Perhaps you’ve heard? Perhaps you’ve noticed? The infamous “culture wars” officially declared in the Reagan era and then hissed forth through the years by everyone from George W. Bush to Rick Warren, the Tea Party to groupthink megachurches, Rush Limbaugh’s giant mouth to Bill O’Reilly’s sad little book, Palin and Bachmann and Karl Rove, too, all ultimately landing with an inglorious splat on poor Rick “please don’t Google my last name” Santorum’s head, the culture wars of yore are essentially over.
And the Republicans lost.
