The left has it all over us because they understand that culture matters. The right can debate endlessly on talk radio and Fox, but they MUST engage the arts. They must get better slogans, better books, better comedy, better paintings, better movies, better music, better philosophy, better documentaries and outdo the left in all the rational and non-rational aspects of human culture.

Understand the traditions that you defend and why they are superior to the left's ideological and highly UNoriginal kulturkampf.

While this article does not solve any issues, it certainly gives the bohemians of the right some semblance of a philosophical approach to the arts that is difficult to find in the current climate.

Please ping any Freepers of artistic bent to this thread.

You’re the only one I know. If there is an “art ping list” please do so.

This was as close to a "debating beauty" as I could find....
