The Progressive movement, having first established a foothold in both political parties at the beginning of the last century, set about to take over America's broad educational, cultural and informational institutions, understanding that such control would allow them to transform the social underpinnings of Western civilization.
They have now largely succeeded.
Having changed the public language and terms of discussion, they are now proceeding to dismantle the primary institutions of faith, family and community.
They will succeed here as well, unless they are stopped by a successful counter-revolution - and yes: that is what it will require - a movement far beyond political boundaries that seeks to restore what has been lost.
The conservative movement in America has philosophical, cultural and religious underpinnings with values and beliefs that can support such a movement, but it will not succeed unless it stops treating the problem as merely a political one, and learns to organize and fight accordingly.
For that reason, it often appears to those observers who desire a return to traditional Western ideals that there has been little effective and organized opposition to the Progressive Project.
The Republican party is never going to lead the charge, but if so prompted by the rise of organic pro-Western, pro-Liberty social forces, it will have little choice but to follow, or else get out of the way.
