Forget the Culture War, This is Now a ‘War on Culture’
Speaking on ‘America Now,’ host Buck Sexton called the left’s all-out barrage on Confederate War memorials not an example of the ongoing culture war between liberals and conservatives, but rather a “war on culture.”
“It’s not just a culture war that we see happening right now over the monuments,” said Buck. “I think it can be more accurately described as a war on the culture”
“A culture war has this connotation of people who are on one side of the culture versus people who are on the other side of the culture. Should we say ‘Merry Christmas’ or should we say ‘Happy Holidays?’” he asked.
“A war on the culture is something a bit different, and I think that’s what we have going on right now,” said Sexton. “That just means an effort to destroy, to raze, remove and eliminate […] That’s a way of trying to take whatever the foundational elements of American culture and just remove them, destroy them, light them on fire.”
“It’s the burn it all down approach,” he added.
“They want to destroy what we think of as American culture. Those institutions, ideas, historical figures that bind us together. They want to eliminate all that,” said Buck. “It’s only a matter of time before we are all told that we have to judge every historical figure by the moral compass of today.”
“Based on what social justice warriors think is acceptable today, we must now go back and judge all the figures in our past,” he warned.
