Guillen, as an admitted supporter of Hugo Chavez, can be assumed to have absolutely zero Straussian influence.

People in Chicago don't care about the White Sox. Cities who do care about their teams always turn over cars and set things on fire when their teams win a national title. None of that happened in Chicago so they must not really care about the sox.

The Sox are the second team in the Second City.
They were 15 games up in the AL Central and they couldn't even fill their stadium until a week or two before the regular season ended.
Most professed Sox fans during the playoffs were straight off the bandwagon.

There is absolutely nothing conservative about Leo Strauss, an atheist and nihilist whose followers resemble nothing so much as a Gnostic cult.

there were numerous sell-outs before Cleveland came to town the last time...

Some may buy this, but I remember Kluzewski, and his brains were biceppian. The idea of him giving such a talk is as ludicrous as, oh, say, the White Sox winning the Worl......

Leo Strauss was a brilliant thinker who was revolutionary in his assertion that it was Machiavelli, NOT Hobbes, who was the true father of western poltical thought. This pisses off the liberals for the obvious reason, but also the Paleocons, who would like to see a society molded after Augustine's "City of God."
Why is it that being a non-believer makes someone not conservative? That's as dumb as saying that a person who owes their spiritual allegiance to a German in Rome cannot be a good American.

Leo Strauss was a putz.

It doesn't, necessarily. But the basis of Western culture is Christianity. And someone who hates religion cannot be a conservative.
