Hmm

This will drive the “Bush is turning America into a theocracy” crowd nuts, but it’s interesting that he thinks this.

He kept coming back to how cultures change, both in America and overseas. “Cultures do change and ideological struggles are won.” “There was a stark change between the culture of the ‘50’s and the 60’s—boom—and I think there’s change happening here.” “It seems to me that there’s a Third Awakening.”

Call me when bars are closing down, cable companies fold, and internet pornographers are struggling for customers. Then we can be calling it an Awakening. I’m going to go with a conservative swing of the political pendulum in the meantime. It’s swing back the other way soon enough. Probably too soon.
