As to this statement you are highlighting, he is obviously lamenting the direction of a culture that is coarsening and believing that such coarsening may one day be worthy of revolt by those no longer inclined to live in filth. You may find this statement shocking, but definitely gives some insight as to the degree to which socially conservative people feel under assault in today's culture and the direction they feel it is heading.

I fail to see how that counters the OP's point.

Countering his point wasn't the intention of my post. Though it is true that Dvaut finds egregious certain declarations by conservatives regarding the culture wars, he finds no such urgency in actual restrictions of speech and other conservative concerns on college campuses, or in PC wording of legislation. Words mean things to Dvaut only if they are an assault on liberal sensibilities, not conservative ones.
