Lowery Uses the Culture Wars Card Against Obama

In his commentary in the New York Post: Rich Lowery's pathetic attempt to keep the culture wars alive by blaming Obama for re-igniting them underscores the absolute dearth of ideas the conservatives can generate. You see, in Rich's estimation "Barack Obama's election was supposed to signal the end, or at least the diminishment, of the cultural issues that the GOP had feasted on electorally for 30 years." Rich's story centers on Obama's invitation to "evangelical Pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation Jan. 20." That invitation, according to Rich indicts the "the cultural left" for promoting a culture war. Rich is a youngster with diminishing prospects for a conservative revival so he pulls out the culture war card and hopes for the best because that's all he's got. Old tactics and wedge issues of a young man and a collection of unpopular conservatives without ideas or support.
