Roy Edroso is right in his critique of Frank Rich’s latest column on the death of the culture war and his example of the “Going Galt movement” is perfect in showing the continued prevalence of the culture war festering in the right wing blogosphere. While the left has developed an online community that has a balance between outside critique and inside influence, the right has largely developed as an outrage machine. The question isn’t whether the main voices of the right are voices from the culture war, as it was largely during the 1990s, but are the vocal parts of the Republican base the remaining proponents of culture war politics? I think the answer clearly is yes. That it these people are somewhat less focused on stem cells is not a sufficient cause to dismiss the culture war as a major area for Republican organizing.
