Is Jason Brown truly this ignorant?

Lee Stubbs writes:

I asked [Jason Brown] about the Platte County Land Use Plan approved in March 2010. "The Land Use Plan is just one tool of many; it’s a guideline that’s already four years old,” he said. “Perhaps that document needs to be looked at again.”

Wow.  "Already four years old."  And Jason Brown has called himself a "constitutional conservative"?  Shhh, don't tell Brown, but Russell Kirk's seminal Conservative Mind  traced "conservatism" back to guiding documents thousands of years old. (Not that it matters since Jason Brown probably doesn't read  books and is historically illiterate.)  Why, even the US Constitution is over 200 years old!  Definitely needs to be tossed out à la Jason Brown's outlook.   And what about property law, much of which can be traced back to ancient Roman and Anglo-Saxon common law.  Toss it out.  In fact, let's toss out all our laws and guidelines and Jason Brown can just personally decree ad hoc laws that best serve his donor and developer buddies. (It's basically what he did on Dec. 2.) "Four years old."  Wow.  I know four-year-olds wiser than Jason Brown.

Stubbs also quotes Brown: "You don’t buy Jason Brown. I have never traded votes for favors or money and I never will. Period.”  Umm, Brown's donor list begs to differ (see here).  So does JE Dunn.
