We haven’t won a battle in decades, and I don’t see French or Spanish sails on the horizon. Conservatives have lost the culture war; now it is about preserving our way of life despite the larger culture (or more appropriately, cultural vacuum).

However, the black flag of the Islamic State is on the horizon.

Our way of life is not going to be "preserved". History is not kind to those who wish to merely "preserve" their way of life. Unless you like paying jizya in return for a watered-down, empty suit version of your way of life.

I live in NJ; that flag is a couple of miles to the east in Jersey City.

While I was referring to the culture war in which the libs have the upper hand, there are Christians who have survived with their way of life intact through centuries of Muslim oppression. Christians in Egypt, Syria, and Iraq have kept the faith (indeed, suffering for it rather than bend).
