So we are instructed here, by my esteemed, and quite conservative, philosophical colleague Robert C. Koons.  Professor Koons explains that, "One’s political thinking must be distorted from the natural conservatism of the human heart, and this is true only of a fairly small minority, rarely found outside faculty lounges, Hollywood soirees, or the isolated cells of political radicalism."  For the policy positions of "the human heart," do see Professor Koons’s discussion here and also here (where comments are open).  But be forewarned: the list of policies to which your heart commits you may…well…give you heartburn.
