Cousin Dave, you raise an interesting proposition. If creating a “conservative ghetto” is the only way to ensure artistic endeavors that don’t seek to propagandize – that strive only to enlighten, entertain, and illuminate the human experience, free of political ideology – then I’m all for it. I just have my doubts that such a project would remain untainted by politics. But I like the way you think! For me, conservatism has always been about the pursuit of a moral life. Making “small government, low taxes, and leave us the hell alone” an end in itself just isn’t good enough. These must be the means to end, and that end can’t just be pleasure and money-making. That end should be a moral life, well-lived.
