Gov. Palin IS the "culture war" personified as Pat Buchanan, via
MSNBC, has been happily explaining his (coined?)perception & reality
to liberals
Her villainous "good ole boys" certainly do personify establishment
adaptation, compromise, nuance, pragmatism, mitigation,
sophistication, the usual subtle corruptions of every kind that
rightwingers and nutty leftists despise
This sickening observation isn't rocket science, and of course
everything about it has to be qualified and hedged with weasle word
and "alleges"
The masses of folks, including most trade union members & indeed petty
bouegeoise ordinary service station franchisees, are by ...definition
"rightwing" & "reactionary" types
I am not (unfortunately) making crap up: to me it's harsh realism and
not paranoia
The Republican Party has been catering its literalist Supreme Court,
anti birth control, anti-evolution, and general "flat earth" pitch to
yahooism since at least Nixon's "southern strategy," tho long before--
see "isolationism," "know-nothing," and "babbitry"
FDR won because of depressing economic shite, including bank failures,
and, yes, tiredness with failed puritanical Prohibition
History may somehow repeat with Obama-Biden, though it appears to me
the Rught is now winning
