Our Opportunity

Today we have an historic opportunity to shape America. Kids starting college in 2008 were born in 1990. George W. Bush is the first president they've known. Reagan and Clinton are history for them. Jimmy Carter and the "malaise" of the 1970s are ancient history. The liberal Baby Boomers who grew up in the '60s and '70s and who dominate the cultural agenda today are a passing generation. Young people today suffer from the residue of liberal Boomer idealism, but they are more open than previous generations to what a true liberty culture offers. We can either let them continue to drift into careers without the chance of greater cultural influence, or decide to make a difference.

On the professional side, there are probably more talented and committed proponents for personal liberty in our four cultural influence professions than there have been since the cultural upheaval of the 1960s. We can continue to let them drift along incognito and in isolation, or we can attempt to harness all that talent and energy toward classical liberal cultural influence.

A recent article at The American Thinker, by Bruce Walker, included an interesting passage indicating exactly why we need The Culture Alliance:

A lot of persuasion is necessary before Americans (including our elites and their institutions) change their way of thinking. We in fact still need a crusade to change hearts and minds more than a candidacy.

Exactly! Top-down action will never change hearts and minds to the degree necessary to make a fundamental difference. Focusing on politics alone will continue to leave us frustrated. The Culture Alliance offers a bottom-up approach in the cultural influence professions. Nothing like it has ever been attempted before.

A new "crusade to change hearts and minds" has begun.
