Yup, Rod. It's a laugh riot. That Larison guy really has us pegged! All of us rubes just don't get it. We lack enlightenment and are just too small and 2-dimensional to benefit from the hard thinking and important insights you're offering. Good for you, taking the high road and just laughing off any criticism of crunchy conservatism from those suffering from false consciousness.
Please, please don't tell me crunchy conservatism doesn't suffer from smugness anymore, ok?
