The 60's radicals (of whom both Reich and Ronstadt are representative) have a strangle hold on academia, the media, entertainment, and the culture in general. It will take a major crisis to bring them down. We are indeed a deeply, and probably irreconcilably, divided nation.

It would be interesting to take a poll at FR and see what people think the country will look like in 10, 20, 50, 100 years. For me, I think that the inherent contradictions and cleavages discussed here and other ones (e.g. Mexican immigrants vs. anglos) will ultimately end up splitting the country in some way. I pray it doesn't happen, because I love this country, but I just don't see how fundamentally different world views, values, and allegences can peacefully co-exist, especially if we experience true economic or social disruption.
