I think it’s always important to learn both from failure and from success. In my view "social conservatives" need to do two big things much, much better: build actual political organizations instead of religious ministries masquerading as political organizations, and invest in culture creation networks -- serious artistic and intellectual networks. Culture wars are struggles over who has the power to "name reality." We are getting swamped in this war.
