We’re headed back to the ’80s, as far as civil liberties are concerned. Forget about debates over the insidious liberal menace of “political correctness” and Clinton as Big Brother; get ready for the ACLU vs. the Moral Majority, Round Two. The conservatives are abandoning their posts at the free-speech barricades, where they were never really that comfortable anyway; Dan Quayle and even Bush, to some degree, are presenting themselves as the heirs to Ronald Reagan. It’s morning in America again.
