He traces the Democratic Party's takeover in the 1968-1972 period by wealthy secularist liberals who pushed the party's old socially conservative working class coalition of northern Catholics and southern Protestants out of the party leadership, and made pro-[[abortion]], [[gun control]], and similar liberal positions the dominant views in the party.
