Mr. Buckley starts out by unpacking the title of this show: "In the New York

Times appearing a day before the inaugural of Mr. Clinton and under the by-line of two

liberals, Maureen Dowd and Frank Rich, we read, 'It's more demanding than special

interests. It's more pious than political correctness. It's more evangelical than any

rainbow coalition. The painfully sincere tone and rigidly mandated diversity of this

week's inaugural events constitute a frightening new movement in American politics; the

Religious Left.' " Mr. O'Sullivan explains this development by reference to an argument

by Tom Bethell that "when people stopped believing in God or they lost an old-fashioned

secular faith like patriotism or nationalism, there was a vacuum, and people can't stand

that kind of philosophical vacuum." Is it, asks Mr. Buckley, " 'Do your own thing,' or is

it 'Be your potty little self? Because after all, those come from two distinctly different

patrons--Woodstock and Chesterton." Mr. Sobran: "No, this is much more 'Do your

own thing.' But the thing you do must be in some kind of conformity with the things that

other like-minded people are doing too."
