Commenting on my original post, Win Myers, who has worked with Brad Birzer and currently works with Herb London, offers these reflections. As he notes, "Brad’s eloquent reply not only shows more grace and class than Chait could muster; it puts to shame the latter’s hollow claim that conservative intellectuals are ignorant wretches capable only of writing text that, as Chait puts it, ’read[s] like 10th-grade book reports from some right-wing, bizarro world high school.’"
