If reading someone's opinion ticks you off, be thankful you have no bigger issue than that to worry about. I didn't say I only thought he was a sellout. His writing was sloppy and incoherent. His political acumen seems shallow and undeveloped. He comes across as someone who wants to be taken seriously but is so naive you feel sorry for him. Should I go on?
What do you expect from 20-year-old writters?
He should read Plato, Polybius, Cicero, Cato, Pliny, St. Ausgustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Montesque, Burke, Jefferson, Hamilton, Jay, Madison, J Adams, JQ Adams, De Toqueville, JS Mills, Mises, Hayek, Kirk, and Strauss. For the last fifety years, I would suggest Nash's The Conservative Intellectual Movement since 1945. Only then, will I take his work seriously.
