this was excellent, thanks!

Caldwell must be onto something, because his important work and crucial insight into our national schism has been completely ignored and anathematized—of course in the sacred beliefs held by our educated betters anything less than blind obedient worship to anything labeled "Civil Rights" must be denounced as blasphemy.

For people on the Left side of the aisle, the Civil Rights Narrative is their version of the Hero's Journey or the 7 Stations of the Cross, the sacred founding story & worldview they hold and that explains the world and their place in it. It also provides the moral rationale for why they deserve to rule over and police the thoughts and words of the rest of us.

It is tremendously ironic how liberalism began as a reaction to theocracy and will end by becoming its own theocracy. History always has a great sense of humor.
