Conservatives have to date not had the stomach for the long, slow grind of influencing a culture over time. We’ve preferred the “quick fixes” of laws and referenda.

After all, we've more important things to worry with. Like who'll win the NCAA football championship, the Super Bowl, and so forth. Bread and circuses.

I include myself in that group, BTW.

Conservatives, more or less by definition, have lives. Their purpose in being and sense of self-worth is not totally tied up in politics and changing everything around.

Liberals, for whom the personal is political, thus have an enormous innate advantage.
