I didn't think you were expecting a reply to #174.

I teach rhetoric, in the vein of Richard M. Weaver, one of the fathers of the modern conservative movement in America. I teach them to be at home in the realm of ideas; how to engage in reasoned discourse, how to follow an argument to its logical conclusion, spot contradictions and faulty logic, how to avoid extremes, and how to be good citizens.

Here's a few links to what I teach:

Some reflections on and by Richard M. Weaver
Overview of Rhetoric
Rhetoric and Decorum on the Web
A reflection on Federalist #1
My Practical Reasoning Tutorial (much of which is based on Richard M. Weaver's Rhetoric and Handbook

I set an example, I don't "teach" anything.

Being a true American requires no "teaching" at all.
