Steyn: We're Losing the War

In the Steyn Online article referred to in the previous post, Mark writes a wakeup call for Republicans.
Conservatives have spent the supposed "end of history" winning a zillion elections, and losing everything that matters. To most of the so-called millennials, conservatism is entirely invisible except as a Jon Stewart punchline - and that invisibility was largely our choice.

Instead of launching another radio show or news aggregator or think-tank, never mind obsessing over whether Jeb or Jindal or Christie will play better in Iowa, we need to make like the Islamic mullahs and the sex mullahs and start competing for the space where people actually live.
Sorry, Mark, millennials watch no news except Jon Stewart. They are largely underemployed, ahistorical and geographically illiterate. Their "space where people actually live" tends to be with their parents. A sad lot, and hypersensitive to boot.
