	Richard Weaver Revisited: Rhetoric Left, Right, and Middle
		The ideals of Weaver's foundational rhetoric—a rhetoric based on dialectically secured principles that transcend "the peculiar features of an occasion" (18)—are generally allied with a Platonic, aristocratic, hierarchical political philosophy while situational rhetoric is linked to a sophistic, democratic, relativistic philosophy (see, for example, Crowley 327 and Scenters-Zapico 356).
		Similarly, Weaver says that the surest measure of someone's political philosophy is to examine "the type of argument he [or she] prefers" (112).
		My purpose is to discover what kinds of rhetoric were in practice used by those from the left, right, and middle of the political spectrum—and to connect those rhetorics with those described by both Weaver and current rhetoricians.
