Wasn't it always acceptable in "some circles" to express anti-semitism, and aren't those circle getting very very small? Which puts a lot of pressure on the people in those circles. I am sure they feel their days are numbered- which, in a way, they are. You can't go out socially anymore (in normal society) and talk about Jews or blacks or hispanics in offensive ways. I can't remember anyone doing that since I was back in KY meeting my birth family- and I think that was the FIRST time I ever heard a white person use the word "nigger". It amazed me- which is proof of how very different society is, from the little backwaters where people still talk the way they did 50 years ago. I think one can probably say the same thing about Christians. Most Christians are probably tending towards moderation. I read about all sorts of progressive movements in Christian churches, plus there seems to be a seepage from New Age into mainline Christianity. I find that interesting. Now I am very sure the hard core Christians find this tough to deal with. But they had their moment in the sun- when the "moral minority" caught the eye of the media. Now that's over. The spotlight has moved on.
