[Urbane Guerrilla]

Ignore Radar. His tumor of an ego prevents use of that intelligence he vaunts. Libertarianism did not fit his tyrannous nature anyway, and he's abandoned it. With Radar, midbrain always trumps forebrain. The poor fool thought Obama was some description of libertarian. Precisely none of Obama's policy initiatives bear this out, and I'm confident none will.

Nor can Radar point to one single post where he's actually nailed anyone to the wall, let alone someone like me whose personality does not militate against his intellect. You may ignore Radar because he is delusional. Press him to show proof of nailing me to anything, and he will weasel frantically, probably ending up by hurling abuse at you. His ideas are defective, and no defective thought can dismay me.

I suppose it bears repeating, to pierce through your reluctance to learn, Redux: whether I want it or not, I seem to have become Middle America. Happens with age, I guess. I have not experienced a great deal of trouble refuting you yet.

I have a great deal to teach you: that your posture towards Islamofascist terrorism is one of moral cowardice and unbecoming a Jew; that socialism will act to destroy the Republic, not enhance it; that progun attitudes are antigenocide attitudes (must set about composing that essay, with refs, as I promised); that white liberal guilt is not the road of virtue; that tested values seem the only worthy ones. The essence of the conservative ideology is not a pigheaded antipathy towards the new, but that one should keep the tested things that work well, not throwing out the baby with the bathwater in order to make room for something new just because it is novel. New, fresh notions have the potential to be good -- but they must actually fulfill that potential, stand the test of time and virtue, to be at all worthwhile.

What can you teach me except what taking the wrong road looks like? Your body of writing adds up to quite the cautionary tale for the man who looks behind the curtain.
