Jonah, fair enough. Here are just a few avoided questions:
Who was the truer conservative, Dorothy Day or Henry Kissinger?
Is it stunningly obnoxious and anathema to conservatism to suggest that people ought to “look homeward” when deciding where to live?

Would you be satisfied with Rod’s critique if he substituted “mainstream Republican” for “mainstream conservative”?
