Anyone who has ever paid attention to the anti-abortion movement knows that while the public face put on the movement is female, the brains, muscle, and backbone of it is conservative men. Same is true of the pro-marriage movement, the family values movement, the Promise Keepers--but all those movements are now past their peak. The media is largely ignorning them, they couldn't whip up a frenzy in Congress or the public square over gay marriage, now matter how hard they and the gays and lesbians busy marrying one another tried.

I'm telling you people, the peak of this has past. Even if Bush wins by a hair, the conservative movement in the US has peaked, and is beginning it's decline. They can't win the culture wars no matter how repressive they get, because the majority of people simply are no longer willing to live that sort of life. The loosening grip religion tradition and government laws once had over people isn't reversible. If we ignore them, they actually will not only go away, but their children will join us, even if they don't.
