We could continue to trade barbs, but that would just not be productive. I have read your posts with interest, and actually found some of your arguments to be quite good.
You have made a very cogent point that popularity doesn’t always equate to true conservative principles, and I will concede that to be true. History has shown many principled people who were not popular in their day.
There is just something about Keyes that disturbs me; it is not specifically his message, but it is about him personally. I know ‘having a feeling’ is not a proper way to enter an argument, but I suppose I will just have to leave it at that.
My apologies if I have been too harsh to you personally.

Feelings, if informed by experience, can be very useful. Within ten seconds of first seeing them on TV, I had feelings about Beelzebubba and the Bamtard.

I have a thick skin. When I jump on something, it means I am interested, not upset.
