4. It isn't racial at all
It's from the German word kulturkampf, which predates Hitler. It's a war or struggle between traditionalists and progressives (and/or their surrogates).

There is plenty of racialist and racist oppression in the world, but the idea of Culture War is somewhat different -- although most right-wing Culture Warriors have been racist.

I totally disagree with you on the Jewish/Catholic thing. Our RW Cultural Warriors are actively trying to put a "multicultural" face on their efforts. Leo Strauss, the author of modern Neoconservatism, is Jewish, and the Catholic organization of Opus Dei is a major organizing force which includes Antonin Scalia.

They're beyond race right now. They're going for the enslavement of the entire world. We're on schedule for a massive die-off from mismanagement of energy resources, and they know they only a few years to get their reminaing ducks in a row.
