Their hostile takeover of a corporation, devoid of ideological restrictions - as I said before, Machiavelli would have loved it - did not change the GOP’s raison d’etre. 12/22

4. Perhaps Mr Bales is ignorant of the fact that, until relatively recently, both “major” political parties had conservative & liberal wings. Perhaps he simply wants to ignore this fact. History can be a bummer for those on the wrong side of history. 13/22

The populist sentiment redolent in my two opponents’ stands reared its head before; 2020 is the centennial of the arrival in Indiana of D.C. Stephenson. That is a matter of history chronicled quite well by Irving Leibowitz in “My Indiana,” 1964 ed. 14/22

If Mr Bales and Rev Beckwith find my allusion to KKK offensive, they are free to repudiate KKK, its followers and its beliefs. And let me be clear - I repudiate KKK, any who believe in its messages steeped in hatred and its cowardice. 16/22

5. I itemized issues and agencies on which my views have historical foundation in the GOP. The relatively recent take-over of the GOP by elements of what was called the “Moral Majority” - it was neither - is antithetical to the traditional GOP. 17/22

Finally, an “impostor” one “who assumes a false character, or passes himself off as some one other than he really is.” Oxford English Dictionary, 1971 ed. I have not tried to pas myself off. I have been out front about my beliefs and my policy stands. 18/22

The GOP is in control of a minority. Each day it loses more support. I run as a candidate who opposes ignorance, bigotry and hatred. The crises we face today are similar to the crises this country faced in 1840 to 1860. 19/22

Perhaps Mr Bales will respond to my arguments. Rev Beckwith tweeted he wants to “have a lot fun dismantling the stupidity of your progressive ideology. Can’t wait to see you on the campaign trail!” Perhaps he will address my arguments. 20/22

If Mr Bales returns and only re-posts what he said on Ground Hog’s Day, at least he will do something in the spirit of the movie by that title. Maybe he’ll even drive a Jeep. 21/22

I am Mark Small, a candidate for U.S. House in Indiana’s 5th Congressional District. I am proud to be a progressive and carry on that tradition of the Grand Old Party. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 22/22
