I don't know whether Roger is conservative or not. I think that he is a moderate pro business guy. Seems pretty much apolitical to me, but I doubt that would have satisfied persons of the type you describe.

I based my assumption that Roger was a conservative because he was employed at BYU.

I know, I was profiling, but I coudln't help it.

I don't think so. I never heard him say anything about that type of stuff and I have heard planty of people say stuff like that in his presence and there was no agreement.

From Espn.com...

MAAC: Marist
Over the summer, everything that could go Marist's way did: graduations of key players across the conference (especially at league champion Iona), player defections (such as Siena's Kojo Mensah to Duquesne) and key coaching losses (Manhattan's Bobby Gonzalez to Seton Hall). The Red Foxes entered the season as the hands-down favorite, and nothing in their early 10-3 record diminishes that status.

Marist's spark comes from a 6-2 senior point guard named Jared Jordan (19.4 ppg), who's rated by some outlets as the second-best point guard in the 2007 NBA draft and a potential second-round selection. When the team clicks, it's when he's out on the floor, and when he's not -- as in a 63-53 Dec. 19 loss at Wright State as Jordan sat nursing an ankle injury -- the Red Foxes look fogbound. And that's what the phalanx of scouts who follow him love: He makes the players around him better.

I think I just had a basketball orgasm.

LOL...it doesn't matter if you don't think so. I've met Roger several times and have had several conversations with him that have nothing to do with basketball. He isn't just conservative. He's hardcore right wing.

Detroitdad · 01-06-2007, 07:28 PM

Well alright then. I grew up in Spanish Fork with him and Randy is my brother's best friend and Robbie is a very good friend of mine. I heard them discuss politics and so on, but they struck me as moderates with a pro business bent. He must not have liked me very much, because I would argue with Robbie about those kinds of topics in his presence and he never said anything.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we've been talking about the Dad Roger.

Thanks.

Yeah, I suppose that we have been talking about that. All I can say is that my experience (and there have been many, many, many hours of it, and a lot of that is centered around politics) has not reflected your experience. So I guess we'll agree to disagree on this one.
