We need to get beyond the "war" frame and start insisting that everyone behave like we're living in a civil society, not a battlefield.

I like to think that we are seeking justice, the restoration of that which is rightfully ours. In seeking justice we need to do it with wisdom, courage and self control.
I agree with you that the term "culture war" diminishes what we are about.
