Well put. I can't talk to many of the conservatives I know about the art, movies and books I am into because they don't approve of the morality of the characters, for example. Well, *I* don't, either, but I read about things I haven't experienced and ideas I'm unfamiliar with. Many conservatives--like many liberals--merely want to read things that merely promote ideas they already agree with. I'm not interested in that, I want to see and read new things, and will reject the bad and take what I find useful.
