Pretty silly.

Look at his comments in this article. Is there any doubt Keyes is an elitist? Only question I have about Keyes is if he is a esoteric Straussian and thinks principles are myths and nothing but useful constructs or an exoteric Straussian who believes truth and justice really or might exist. Observing his cult like hold on his followers inclines me to think he is the former.

Maybe Keyes' handlers should teach him to talk with a Texas twang so people won't think he's an elitist.

Maybe you could expound on the elistist thing a bit more in a practical way? I assume Keyes believes in elections. To me an elistist as relevant in the current political currency is one who wants government to propagandize and regulate popular consumption and taste habits. I'm not sure Keyes wants government to be in that business. Another strand is to have government make decisions not easily subject to popular validation. This is typically done now through the courts. I don't think Keyes likes that either.

You quote five sentences written by a man who has written millions of words, and ask is there any doubt that you have summed up his thinking in those five sentences. A short answer is yes, there is plenty of doubt that you have succeeded. Your approach is that of Senator Kennedy questioning Judge Pickering, quoting a few sentences out of a career of writing and saying that you have proved something about his essential character and ideology. To me, you and Teddy are the cultists.
