• The Politics of American Authors.
• No thornier theme could well be suggested than one I was invited to consider, the other day, by an Englishman who wished to know how far American politicians were scholars, and how far American authors took part in politics. ... In a sort which it would take too long to set forth, politics are very intimate matters with us, and if one were to deal quite frankly with the politics of a contemporary author, one might accuse one's self of an unwarrantable personality. ...
• I should say that they also continued very largely the emotional tradition in politics, and it is doubtful if in the nature of things the politics of literary men can ever be otherwise than emotional. In fact, though the questions may no longer be so, the politics of vastly the greater number of Americans are so. ... If any one were to ask me why then American authors were not active in American politics, as they once were, I should feel a certain diffidence in replying that the question of other people's accession to office was, however emotional, unimportant to them as compared with literary questions. I should have the more diffidence because it might be retorted that literary men were too unpractical for politics when they did not deal with moral issues.
• This may be a better reason than either given why authors do not take part in politics with us. ...
• I think it is a pity that our authors do not go into politics at least for the sake of the material it would yield them; but really they do not. Our politics are often vulgar, but they are very picturesque; yet, so far, our fiction has shunned them even more decidedly than it has shunned our good society -- which is not picturesque or apparently anything but a tiresome adaptation of the sort of drama that goes on abroad under the same name. In nearly the degree that our authors have dealt with our politics as material, they have given the practical politicians only too much reason to doubt their insight and their capacity to understand the mere machinery, the simplest motives, of political life.
• But it is pretty certain that if a man not in politics takes them seriously, he will have more or less mud, not to say stones, thrown at him. ... Business to the business man, law to the lawyer, medicine to the physician, politics to the politician, and letters to the literary man; that is the rule. ...
• The turn which our politics have taken towards economics, if I may so phrase the rise of the questions of labor and capital, has not largely attracted literary men. It is doubtful whether Edward Bellamy himself, whose fancy of better conditions has become the abiding faith of vast numbers of Americans, supposed that he was entering the field of practical politics, or dreamt of influencing elections by his hopes of economic equality. But he virtually founded the Populist party, which, as the vital principle of the Democratic party, came so near electing its candidate for the Presidency two years ago;(1) and he is to be named first among our authors who have dealt with politics on their more human side since the days of the old anti-slavery agitation. ... Since the war a sort of refluence of the old anti-slavery politics carried from his moorings in Southern tradition Mr. ... Cable, who, against the white sentiment of his section, sided with the former slaves, and would, if the indignant renunciation of his fellow-Southerners could avail, have consequently ceased to be the first of Southern authors, though he would still have continued the author of at least one of the greatest American novels.

• Culture, Politics, and the American Founding.
• How can politics help to restore a healthy American culture? The question assumes that politics can shape culture—indeed, can conduct us "towards the renewal of civilization," in the noble words of this volume’s subtitle—but that assumption is, of course, itself controversial. In fact, in today’s debates, one hears more of the threat that politics poses to culture than of any salvation politics might offer for culture. ...
• To begin with, American conservatives claim that the Left, from its parapets of power in Hollywood, the universities, the national media, the federal courts, and the National Endowment for the Arts, has waged, for decades, a "culture war" upon the American people—a war that the people have been losing. The conservatives’ complaint is commonly put this way: the Left has set out to "politicize" American culture, to force it to conform to a new orthodoxy of political correctness in everything from homosexual marriage to pronoun usage. ... Instead of politics trying tyrannically or arbitrarily to create culture, politics should devote itself to conserving culture (in the sense of the people’s evolved sentiments, habits, and way of life). Thus in the conservative view, politics should grow out of culture and serve culture, not the other way around. ...
• They differ on the question of what it means to "conserve" culture: Does it mean to keep government’s hands off it, to be neutral towards culture and allow it to develop however artists and citizens choose? Or does it mean a hands-on approach, an active promotion of "traditional American values" (not a traditional American phrase, by the way) against their would-be subverters in and out of government? Hands-off is the preference both of libertarians, who tend to take a democratic and laissez faire attitude towards culture, and of those neo-conservatives who defend high culture (and particularly one of its valuable prerogatives, academic freedom) against the public’s attempts to influence it. The hands-on approach is preferred (in various ways, to be sure) by the so-called Religious Right, by most who refer to themselves as "cultural conservatives" or traditionalists, and by many neo-conservatives who are repelled by the prospect of American society’s utter de-moralization. Even conservatives who are prepared to use government to shore up American culture, however, typically reject the notion that they are "politicizing" the culture. They argue that they are only using politics to get beyond politics—that is, to overcome the culture’s artificial or forced politicization.
• Ever since Edmund Burke, whose defense of the British Constitution became the model for the Right’s thinking on the cultural roots of politics in general, conservatives have argued that culture is neither a goal that politicians can seek to achieve nor a product that they can make—let alone export. ...
• Oddly enough, the multiculturalists agree with the traditionalists on the primacy of culture over politics, and to some extent even on the definition of culture. What the multiculturalists insist on, however, is that culture does not have to be exclusive, or more precisely, that Americans can participate in many cultures without succumbing to any one of them and without ceasing to be American. ...
• Despite their facile assertion of the equality of all cultures, they are in fact children of contemporary American culture. ... Once the country has expiated these sins, however, the work of politics—of political correctness and "consciousness raising" —will be done, and a thousand multicultural flowers will presumably bloom freely. ...

• Right-wing politics.
• In politics, the term right-wing (or political right or simply on the right) refers to the segment of the political spectrum associated either with any of several strains of conservatism, or with opposition to left-wing politics. Some commentators also use the term with reference to fascism, although few non-fascists on the political right would consider their own politics to have anything in common with fascism. ...
• See Left-Right politics for the origin of the terms and for a summary of what political views would usually be characterized as "left" and "right". Many don't find the left/right dichotomy helpful in discussing contemporary politics (see Political spectrum for discussion of alternatives), but it remains a very common view of the political landscape. ...
• Today, some conservatives who see themselves as defending society and its traditional institutions and freedoms from what they consider the irrational liberalism (in the American sense of the word) or the repressive socialism of the left sometimes use the term "right-wing" in a positive sense. ...
