Why did that comment strike you as odd? As you yourself posted on the Hugh Nibley obituary thread, "there are many Democrat Mormons".
Um, that wasn’t me who said that about Democrats in this thread. I was quoting Ken Kulykendall who said that when Helen Whitney talked to him. You missed the point of the comment when Kulykendall said that Helen Whitney equated intellectual minds with Democrats.
And should I be flattered that you seem to be keeping track of my comments?
