He has value as a person and a teaching example.

The feeling of becoming larger than yourself by repeating fox news spin served up on a platter is enticeing for those who need it.

*Olde timey conservatism is of course something quite different.


I like your playing with language, it creates new associations, meaning and surprises. Maybe even a writer.
