Abstract

This presentation will discuss certain key enduring and shifting elements of the American culture war as it moves forward: the broadening and moderating of the role of religion; the drop in salience of certain wedge issues, such as same sex marriage;聽continued ambivalence surrounding abortion and reproductive rights; and聽the rise of a new/old culture war resistance (鈥淵ou Lie,鈥� 鈥渂irthers,鈥� 鈥渢ea parties鈥�) that makes the predictions of realignment and hopes for post-partisanship weaker. Together, the elements suggest a reconfiguring of the culture war.
