Political conflict is rarely driven merely by laws, elections, or economics. Long before public policy changes, language changes. Words shape moral imagination. Repetition alters social assumptions. Cultural narratives influence what citizens consider compassionate, hateful, reasonable, or extreme. Modern political battles are therefore increasingly rhetorical battles. Many conservatives believe the modern American left has become especially…
Semantic Warfare of the Left Series: What is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)?
Cultural Marxists have a deceptive vocabulary, Wokespeak, concealing the Neo-Marxist nature of wokeness. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is Wokespeak for woke indoctrination programs. DEI programs are being implemented in schools, corporations and governmental organizations as the woke continue their long march of conquest through the institutions. A breakdown of this phrase is useful for…
Critical Issues Dividing the Parties and the Nation: Civil Rights
Few political phrases carry as much moral weight in American public life as civil rights. It is a term that evokes the nation’s highest ideals—liberty, equality before the law, and protection from unjust government power. Because of this moral weight, civil rights has become one of the most contested and misused concepts in modern political…
The Hidden Language of the Woke in Public Schools
Walk into any public school today, and you may not find the words “Critical Race Theory” splashed across the curriculum. That’s deliberate. Most administrators know that parents would object. Instead, CRT—and its cousin ideologies rooted in Neo-Marxism—slip in under softer labels: “equity,” “anti-racism,” “restorative justice,” “social emotional learning.” The words sound positive, even harmless. Who…
Were the Hippies Proto-Woke? A Christian Analysis of Two Revolutions
From the flower power days of the 1960s to the flag-burning protests of today, America has witnessed multiple waves of cultural rebellion. While today’s culture warriors are driven by Neo-Marxist ideology and “woke” activism, an earlier generation sparked a different revolution—one that traded suits and sermons for tie-dye and psychedelics. But were the Hippies just…
Long March Through the Institutions Series: Infiltration of Education
The institution of education, once devoted to the pursuit of truth and the development of virtue, has been hijacked by ideological revolutionaries. No longer merely a place to impart knowledge, the modern educational system—from K-12 to the university level—has become the chief mechanism for indoctrinating future generations with radical political worldviews. This ideological subversion, often…
The Democrat Party and Their War on Young Men – How Progressives Seek the Votes of Those They Despise
The Democrat Party has announced a $20 million campaign initiative targeting young men between the ages of 18 and 30. This comes as recent polling data shows growing disillusionment among young men—particularly white, straight, Christian men—with progressive policies, identity politics, and cultural narratives that label them as oppressors by default. The irony is impossible to…
Semantic Warfare of the Left Series: The Deceptive Claims of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”
Few phrases have become as ubiquitous—and as ideologically charged—as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” commonly abbreviated as DEI. At first glance, these words seem virtuous, almost unimpeachable. Who would argue against diversity? Who is opposed to equity or inclusion? Yet behind these seemingly harmless terms lies a worldview that is profoundly at odds with traditional American…
How the Neo-Marxists (Woke, Progressives) Persecute Christians in Modern America
The United States is undergoing a moral upheaval. A radical revolution rooted in Neo-Marxist ideology is targeting the Christian worldview, and it’s doing so with the force of law, the weight of federal bureaucracy, and the power of cultural institutions. Nowhere is this more evident than in how the left is attacking the Christian faith,…
Public Education and the Rise of Ideological Indoctrination
Some of my friends and acquaintances in the public education system believe that my assessments of their colleagues are too pessimistic. Others quietly affirm what I’ve observed. This letter is for those who think I’ve been too critical. Let me begin with my own memories of school. I went through K–12 primarily in the 1970s…
