Basically. Marcus is still young, though, and still has plenty of time to realize that there's a portion of the world which hates him merely for existing, and no amount of leaving them alone will appease. That, and if the mark of a "true" conservative is hanging around with the likes of Leonora Fulani and Taki Cokespoonopolous, count me out ;)
Too true. I was a socialist in my youth. Nothing makes for a better Conservative than a flirtation with the Left in your youth. ;)
