Mark Steyn: ‘What is the future of conservatism?’

January 14, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

He writes:

We have all the talk-radio shows and cable networks we need, and the rest of the country is happy to leave us walled up in those redoubts.

But culture trumps politics, and not just in the movies and pop songs, grade schools and mainline churches, but increasingly in the boardrooms, too.

Instead of giving your hard-earned dollars to help drag some finger-in-the-windy squish with an R after his name over the finish line every other November, conservatives need to start fighting on the turf that matters.

We risk winding up like the Shakers–dependent on conversion while eschewing all effective means thereof.
