The Storytellers: Why Are Most Artists Liberal?<\/a><\/p>\n

\nHundreds of conservative non-fiction books are being published today, some of which become best-sellers. So if there was a lot of really great conservative fiction, some percentage of it would have found its way to publication.
\nAnd yet it hasn’t.
\nIt’s almost as if you have to be a liberal to be a good artist. But that can’t be true, can it?
\nWell, it can. And it is. Here’s why.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I find particularly interesting the point made in which the author opines that a story needs to have (IMO: at least) two ‘human’ (which I read as ‘sympathetic’) sides in order to be a “Good” story. A one-sided story is a flawed one, and so forth. Interesting point — don’t know if it’s a useful\/universal one.
\nMakes me (again) look askance at Hidden Things<\/i> and wonder if I’m missing something there — but that might be me projecting one of my own rules — realistically, no sane person thinks of themselves as The Villain.. Then again, I think about some stories (the actually good Star Wars stories, for example) that focus on the hero’s quest and the inequivocably Rilly Rilly Bad Guy… and those stories don’t have two sympathetic sides, and I think Hmmm.
\nHmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
