You can’t talk to an abstraction alright, but to cite that in the present instance is to twist language to support a strawman argument. I don’t remember when I ever told anything to “conservatism.” I have told things to people who were conservative.

I think this would be characterized as a ‘testimonial’ rather than a persuasive argument, right? Otherwise it’s throwing pearls to swine though who knows maybe one of those swine will make good use of them.
