November 03, 2004 A Battle for America? —Albert Mohler America is now under siege by a band of radical conservatives who wish to overthrow personal liberty, return the culture to the Middle Ages, and enforce their morality on the entire nation--right down to the smallest detail. At least that's the vision presented by Robert B. Reich in his new book, "Reason: Why Liberals Will Win the Battle for America." Reich, who served as secretary of labor under President Bill Clinton, is a smart man with considerable political experience, and he hopes for a Democratic resurgence and a turning of the tide in the nation's culture. As he sees it, America is currently under the sway of conservative politicians and their colleagues in the media who are attempting to turn America into a moralistic police state. Why? Because we won't go along with abortion and same-sex marriage. This is nonsense, of course, but it tells us what today's liberals are really thinking, and that's scary.
