It's interesting how few in US politics seem to develop the oratory skills of the Britts.

I did watch the entire video (or at least listen while I operated the meat grinder) and it was very good. I'll probably pick up his book.

Although I'd have to note that there is a flip side as we've discussed quite a bit. This was somewhat of a circle jerk, but at least a right proper one.

Perhaps the most important line was for elected officials to remember the institution is larger than they are. That's an element of conservatism that transcends politics and is getting lost in numerous ways...
