Btw, be sure to bookmark John Fonte's "ideological war within the West" here in pdf.
By Frank J. Gaffney Jr.

Most thoughtful observers of the contemporary American polity are astonished that the highly partisan fight over the future of Iraq has almost entirely obscured the larger problem of which the Iraqi theater is but one front: the truly global conflict against Islamofascist ideologues and their enablers that is best described as the War for the Free World.

#1  I have a few quibbles of terminology.
"in the form of a new transnational hybrid regime that is post-liberal democratic"
It is indeed post-liberal, but I don't think it is inherently democratic. There is more of a faux-populist "Bread-and-circuses" gloss to it, but I don't think what the people say will carry much water. Only what the 'correct' people say.

"this alternative ideology [of] 'transnational progressivism' ... constitutes a universal and modern worldview that challenges in theory and practice both the liberal democratic nation-state in general and the American regime in particular."

It is not a modern, but a post-modern worldview.

I believe it was Bob Bennett that pointed out that the divide between post-modernism and otherwise is the starkest fault line in our culture. Fonte's work shows where that leads, and it isn't to an America I recognize.
