The rising tide of reaction
Article Abstract:
The recent US election demonstrated the fact that the Liberals are out of touch with the masses. More than the issues of terrorism, Iraq or the economy, it was the moral values and opposition to gay marriage and abortion. In a sharply polarized and divided America, the issue of what kind of entertainment will succeed is paramount. It is necessary that challenging and intelligent work come forth in an effort to change minds and attitudes.
