I just would like to say great job for having Michael Beato write a weekly column for the Alligator.
Despite the fact that I do not agree with him on every issue, I appreciate having a sane, level-headed, conservative-minded voice on the opinions section.
Even though the readership is pretty liberal, I think he caters his writings to that particular group, and he explains his point of view well.
Though he is right of center, I have not heard him talk about the birther movement, legitimate rape or any other outlandish Republican views — and for that I am truly thankful.
He is by far better than your conservative columnist last year. The differences are quite evident.
I highly encourage you to keep him on your paper because there are not many like him.
