Maybe, then, conservatives will be the "radicals" of the future? Or maybe not, since it seems likely moderates will increasingly become the nation's minority group, politically speaking.

Left wingers becoming tenured professors; that's without a doubt a major event in what's happened to the country. But at this point I'm not so much concerned with how it happened, or what the terms should be, so much as: How do we turn it around? It seems liberals having been doing a pretty good job of institutionalizing their beliefs to the extent that many people think there's no other way to do things. Just think of how all we have to do to be decried as hating racists is to voice an opposing view to any Obama policy, and you can see how far we have to go.
