KLAVAN: The Right Has To Learn To Set The Nation’s Agenda

Andrew Klavan

One of the great disadvantages of having ceded the culture to the Left is that conservatives are always on defense. Because the Left owns the news media, the entertainment media, and the academy – the Empire of Lies, as I call it – they set the agenda, and all we can do is fight back. We think we’re winning when we repulse their attacks, but you can’t win on defense. They will keep coming back again and again until the day is theirs, even if it takes half a century.

Why are we talking about race, for instance? Race is not a problem in this country. A violent underclass, too often black, created and sustained by Democrat policies – that is a problem. Instead of babbling about the police, who are only trying to clean up society’s messes, we should be talking about how to destroy the Great Society swamp in which too many of our black citizens are trapped.
