Twenty-five years ago, when MTV played mostly videos, defeated presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan delivered his Culture War speech before the Republican National Convention on August 17 at the Houston Astrodome, where he feared for the soul of America. Twenty-five years later, when conservatives have ceded all control of the culture war to the Left, MTVs Video Music Awards (VMAs, itself a bizarre oxymoron for an outlet that plays no videos) is now a forum about politics and the course of the country.

    Remember, back around the Reagan era, when they told us how American popular culture had such a corrosive effect on Socialist dictatorships?

    MTV is a no white male zone. Why would conservatives watch?

    MTV kills brain cells so I’m not sure it’s good strategy.

    The average age of a TV viewer is 43.
If you want to engage the current culture, download Snapchat and watch YouTube.

    Most conservatives are adults and don’t get into teeny-bopper television.
