You seem to be stuck in gear - claiming I don't respond only insult.

This is not true. You are the one who insults people.

Saying that popular culture has no effect is ludicrous. If it did not why is advertising such a big industry. Was it not Chesterton who said literature is luxury fiction a necessity.

Did not Aristotle say something about simplicity in addressing mass audiences.

If you do not understand the correlation between popular culture, popular opinion, and law then there ain't much I can do to help you pal

Tell me the insults I have presented.

I did not say that.

Chesterson said it, but fiction is common place in advertising and pop culture. Advertising wants you to buy it because of how you feel and how the product will make you feel. Is conservatism going to make one "feel" better? Conservatives and Libertarians think far more than Liberals do. Sending a message of conservative values through the emotions of pop culture does not look like a viable solution.

Did not Aristotle say something about simplicity in addressing mass audiences.
You mean this?
"Maxims," Aristotle noted, "make one great contribution to speeches because of the uncultivated mind of the audience; for people are pleased if someone in a general observation hits upon opinions that they themselves have about a particular instance" (Aristotle, 186).
Which is a reason why telling people about their pocket book and how Conservatism/Libertarianism methods will fill up the pocket book is the method I prefer.

Let's see... how many dictators and related monsters used pop culture to get what they want... Adolf Hitler (don't forget how proud he was to get guns outlawed), Saddam Hussein (so many people name their kids Saddam), Kings, Queens, Emperors, Clintons, etc.

A last thought. It's called pop culture, as in popular culture. How do you or Tremoglie propose to get messages about being responsible and self reliant to the people under 25 years old or so? Easier said than done. It's not popular to get good grades, prepare yourself for good jobs, being punctual, working hard, being respectful to others, controlling your inhibitions, and acting responsibly. How do you battle that which is promoted and glorified in popular culture, Miami Vice? How?
