Didn’t Breitbart say “Politics is downstream of culture”? Steyn argues that liberals (progressives) spend more energy changing the culture and conservatives more energy on changing officeholders.

Who has control of our culture now?

At a fast-food restaurant today, I ate lunch next to a trio of people who didn’t appear to be employed in an office setting or employed at all. Two women and one man, late twenties or early thirties. One of the women (in language salted with profanity) described her family and her relations with them. “Two of my relatives [cousin? uncle?] became Conservaahhtivvvve” (she drew out that last syllable with a cross between a hiss and a groan). She said they had regular, responsible jobs. Her contempt for them was on full display.

These are BO’s people.

And those others she dismissed so easily are paying her way through life.

Someday, we might be able to see Obamamania for the fad it was.

We’re settling down to become a softer and bigger version of Pierre Trudeau’s Canada when the Liberals ran the place there.

Unfortunately we've willingly given the culture to the left rather than seizing our rightful place in it. "Bravely" retreating is still just retreating.

I had the opportunity to speak with CL Bryant last month about Black History month. We agreed that fighting against black history month is a losing proposition. Instead we as conservatives of all races should seize our rightful place in black history with praise of men like Calvin Coolidge and Frederick Douglass. At some point, the fixation on the black part will fade and we can morph it into American history month.

Another thing I do is faithfully take part in a serious survey of television viewers (Viewers Voice). It gives me a choice to support more family friendly and educational television while downgrading the crap.
