	Social Issues & The Culture War in America
		THE WAR WITH THE CRIMINAL CULTURE We are in a wa...
		Instead of treating this attack as a war, the system treats it as some kind of a giant social experiment that amounts to no more than hacking away at the leaves while no one is digging at the roots.
		In fact one “war dissenting” female told a reporter her concern goes back to the last “illegal presidential election.” So this appears not to be a war protest but a ballot box political agenda.

	Culture war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The concept of a "culture war" is also current in Australia, particularly in the area of Australian history and the history wars, the Prime Minister of Australia John Howard is one protagonist as is evidenced in a recent speech.
		From the point of view of American academia, the 'culture wars' and their alignments were nothing new — rather they were perceived as an extrapolation of some conflicts that had been simmering in university life since the 1960s.
		The campus culture wars reflected a change in the demographics of the student population, as well as social change in society at large.

	PrawfsBlawg: War and Speech: A Moral Puzzle
		If your speech has no chance of changing the government's policy on the war, then it could still be immoral, as you would be aiding the enemy without a compensation on the other side (the war will continue, but less effectively).
		The reason I suggest this is that, when the "war" or something else so hotly-political is the subject of the hypothetical, it will be harder for you and your readers to see whether there is in fact any meaning to the argument beyond a mere attempt at political point-scoring.
		Suppose that the effect of anti-war speech on the enemy is in fact neglible to non-existant, but anti-war speech is essential to motivating the nation's leadership to conduct the war in a manner that will make success more likely (I understand, of course, that you don't share these factual assumptions).

	CHARLTON HESTON SPEECHS = Truth! Gun/Culture = Charton Heston gives an amazing speech on frist amendmend and gun ...
		Among freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, of assembly, of redress of grievances, it is the first among equals.
		As a veteran of World War II, as a freedom marcher who stood with Dr. Martin Luther King long before it was fashionable, and as a grandfather who wants the coming century to be free and full of promise for my grandchildren, I am troubled.
		There can be no free speech, no freedom of the press, no freedom to protest, no freedom to worship you god, no freedom to speak your mind, no freedom from fear, no freedom for your children and for theirs, for anybody, anywhere without the Second Amendment freedom to fight for it.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Summer 2001
		During the world war era, the legitimacy of the draft was based on a belief, widely accepted, that citizens had an unlimited liability to perform military service when required by the state.
		The war had shown, the court ruled, that "one may serve his country faithfully and devotedly, though his religious scruples make it impossible for him to shoulder a rifle."[8] This decision is important because it walked away from the idea that citizens were absolutely obligated and could be compelled to perform military service.
		It has touched off a kind of culture war as it pits the demands of traditional (male) military culture against the demands that women's status, as responsible citizens, requires their full inclusion in the military.

	Culture War
		While the "culture war" has its strong Washington component focused around attacks on the NEA, gay rights and other 'family values' standard bearers it is fed by well-organized grass-roots campaigns.
		At a two-day, "Winning the Culture War" conference held in Washington in May 1993, Buchanan equated the ongoing "Culture War" to the Cold War as a long haul struggle that demands vigilance and relentless counter assaults against those deemed harmful to American interests.
		Buchanan, Bennett, and others who have taken to exploiting the cultural divide for political reasons are on the secular side of the debate that has made political use of the Serrano and Mapplethorpe controversies which were the first real test of the waters of culture as a prime motivating issue.

	David Brin's Official Web Site: "Survival of the Fittest Ideas" (speech excerpt)
		The following is excerpted from a speech that I gave at Brigham Young University in 1989, and later transcribed and lightly revised for publication in a small zine.
		While this early forecast may read a little rough (it was a speech, recall), it is an unusual view of our world's troubles, one that may bear further discussion.
		Assuming it does continue to fade: keep an eye on how the other three culture families devour what remains of the old Soviet Empire, as some of its parts hurry to join the domain of the West, some tumble into the Machismo orbit, while still others become Eastern with stunning rapidity.

	Charlton Heston's 'Culture War' Speech at Harvard
		The tobacco wars are actually the most lucrative part of a cultural war between those who believe that individual choice and personal liberty are more important than the interests of the state, and those who believe the opposite.
		This speech, delivered at Harvard, is one of the most powerful and enlightening speeches I have ever heard since the glorious 60s.
		I've come to understand that a cultural war is raging across our land, in which, with Orwellian fervor, certain affected thoughts and speech are mandated.

	The Anti-War Speech Everyone Is Talking About
		This problem is universal, transcending race, economic background, religion, and culture, and this problem is none other than the current administration which has set up shop in the White House.
		I’d paint pictures of assisted productivity if they only agreed to be all they can be, dress them up with fatigues and boots with promises of pots of gold at the end of rainbows, free education to waste terrain on those who finish their bid.
		Then I’d close the lid on that barrel of fool’s gold by starting a war, sending their children into the midst of a hostile situation, and while they're worried about their babies being murdered and slain in foreign lands, I’d grace them with the pain of being sick and unable to get medicine.

	Netanyahu speech before the US SENATE
		In an historic speech to the world last September and with determined action in the crucial months that followed, President Bush and his administration outlined a vision that had the moral and strategic clarity necessary to win the war on terror.
		Soon after the war began, the American victory over the forces of terror in Afghanistan brought to light the third principle in the war on terror - namely, that the best way to defeat terror is to defeat it.
		And time and time again, through both war and peace, America has carried that torch with courage and with honor, combining a might the world has never known with a sense of justice that no power in history has possessed.

		That is, we are not really a nation of two distinct warring camps and a couple of swing states as the media sometimes present it for dramatic purposes.
		The result is that the supposed "culture war" is really a war between increasingly ideologically polarized political parties and their activists who arent really even aware of each others reasoning, with most of us in the middle getting hit by friendly fire from both sides, but being forced to choose between them.
		He points to events such as Patrick Buchanan's speech in 1992 heralding a replacement of the Cold War with the Culture War, and showing that, despite the best efforts of commentators on all sides, the typical American will still be a centrist and moderate in many respects.

	Divided House: Dutch Debate Nature of Europe’s Culture War \| The Brussels Journal
		There are two circumstances under which a culture war becomes highly problematic, namely when certain parties, such as the radical Islamists, do not shun violence in order to impose their views, or when certain parties abuse the power of the state to impose their views on others.
		The culture war will be won by religious people for the simple reason that they are more inclined to procreate than non-religious people.
		A second error in the "tree-way culture war" theory is the disregarding of the enormous difference between the threat of Islam and the threat of cultural differences between Europeans.

	t r u t h o u t - Joe Klein \| Tearing Kerry Down
		It should be noted that, after a long, lifeless recitation of an illusory domestic policy, George W. Bush's acceptance speech at the Republican Convention came alive when the President gleefully skewered John Kerry's foolish claim to be the candidate of "conservative values." It was the pivotal moment of the speech.
		It was a theme that was pounded from the very start of the convention, and it depended on a sly conflation- the notion that the war in Iraq and the war against the 9/11 terrorists were one and the same.
		It certainly trumped Pat Buchanan's 1992 "culture war" speech, in which the target was an abstract army of social liberals.

	RABBI OVADIA YOSEF AND HIS CULTURE WAR IN ISRAEL
		The goal was "to create a new autonomous and genuine Israeli culture, which is implicitly counterpoised to the discredited 'exile mentality' putatively characterizing Jewish groups before immigration to Israel."(13) Furthermore, the state viewed the traditional culture of the Sephardim as hindering their integration into the Western-style modern democratic society that was emerging.
		The cultural gap was supposed to close with the modernization of the Sephardim, meaning their integration into the mainstream Israeli culture.
		Apparently, the goal of rabbi Yosef's culture war is to bring the Israeli public, both religious and secular, to recognize Sephardi culture as a new ideology and social order in Israel.

		American opposition to the war in Iraq appears to have steadied, with clear majorities saying that it was a mistake to send U.S. troops there, and that the United States will not win and should withdraw at least some, if not all, of its troops.
		Soon after the war began in 2003, Gallup found almost the opposite results, with 52% saying it had had a positive effect on life in the United States and 18% saying it had had a negative effect.
		As Iraq teetered on the verge of all-out sectarian/civil war, and the families of seven U.S. soldiers were notified that their sons made the supreme sacrifice for their country, our Commander in Chief couldn't didn't even attempt to exercise exemplary supreme command.

		"We admire your rich history, your vibrant culture, and your many contributions to civilization." The problem is "your rulers," who "deny you liberty" and seek nuclear weapons.
