OT: I don't know his views very well so it would be hard for me to place him.

John, Andrew Sullivan wrote his thesis on the British philosopher Michel Oakeshott:

I read a lecture he gave to the American enterprise Institute about Oakeshott but unfortunately it doesn't seem available at their website anymore. No, here it is cached by Google:

It's a fun read. It's very clear Sullivan was profoundly influenced by Oakeshott.

Oakeshott is complex, to say the least. I only came across him a couple of month's ago. Can't say a lot.

Regarding Sullivan's view on politics and homosexuality. Here is a revue of his book Virtually Normal.

Left, Right. Sort of like porn. Know it when we see it but not very helpful a lot of the time. Don't know the origins. Whigs, Tories - opposing sides of the House?

I haven't got much time this weekend. Gotta run. Post a tiny bit more later.
