Finding the desert flowers
Andrew Klavin calls on conservatives to find those flowers in the arts:
"But we can’t win back the arts unless we love them. Too many conservatives boast of their philistinism. 'I haven’t seen a movie in years,' they brag, as if that were some sort of achievement. Too many others seek to clip the wings of artistic imagination, demanding that artists turn away from anything disturbing or violent or sexual, which is to say from much of life itself."
