Out of the mouths of fictional characters.

My father thinks McAvoy's speech rings true and he is lifelong Republican.

Certainly. His speeches ring true; but that's not enough to make the man himself ring true. Like I said, the problem isn't anything he says; the problem is what he doesn't say. Does your father never say anything to challenge progressives' self-image as the conscience of the nation?

I am sorry but I have clue what that means. I do know that McAvoy criticized Democrats and some "progressive values". My father tends to dwell on talking about what he thinks are good ideas or good policies not about poor ideas or bad policies.

Sometimes fiction strains credulity.

Any Republicans like that were likely driven from the party during the Bush administration.

I don't doubt that statistically, there is probably a Republican like that out there somewhere, but they are few enough that we can ignore them.

Are you one of the Republicans that were driven out or one of the Republicans that remains in?

He never criticized progressive values in any of the episodes I saw; but what can I say? I'm way behind in the series. A DVR is a lot like Doug Adams' Electric Monk. It watches shows for you.

My father tends to dwell on talking about what he thinks are good ideas or good policies not about poor ideas or bad policies.

Then he's a rare man. Good for him.
