You'd better go back and read some of Wm F. Buckley,Jr. and the beginnings of National Review and his philosophy. You're missing some serious background.
Why don't you just tell me what I'm missing, nu. (May I call you nu?)
I probably won't get around to reading up on it for a while, the stack of books is pretty high already.
But I'm sure you can tell me where I'm wrong.
