However his ideas are already set in concrete and he is very, very rarely open to "having his mind changed" and therein lies the problem.

While I agree Crowder may be set in his ways, it's pretty rare when anyone makes a compelling argument.

I'm "right wing" on things like taxation and spending; I don't think wanting controlled immigration is right wing as it has pros and cons for both sides, especially as in my case it's mostly for keeping the building over green spaces low... I don't have particularly strong views on enough issues to be called right wing, so I just say I "lean right".
