[Celtjew Libertarian]

So let's get some conservative and libertarian poets, musicians, novelists, painters etc., out there. (Of course there are some, especially in genre writing and country music, but that's just a few areas.) If the mainstream publishing houses won't publish them, we create our own.

I've been thinking about how to get conservative/libertarian thinking people into the media for years. Of course, I've done nothing myself. I've been off making money just like the character in Rand's book.

And that's the root of the problem.

People's personalities drive them in certian directions. People who love to be fawned over seek performance and media jobs. A professor is a "performer" as well within his classroom.

A large part of the way such people place themselves in way to be fawned over is to spout fashonable ideas. I can't imagine how a person actually "believes" such things that they may say. But I know different people are driven by entirely different things. So perhaps it is more important for such people to be "loved" than to be "truthful".
