How valuable are the insights of former "leftist" radicals to conservatism?

Very. They have first hand knowledge of how those views and goals are failed ones. The problem is the mindset that causes one to be a Leftist radical in the first place near allows one to truly leave it in the dust and become a former one. They are forever enamored with the utopian views of it and are always ignoring the pesky pragmatism that keeps it from happening.

Where can I download a VST synth that has hell/evil/scary/horror sounds?

I don't know about synths specifically (well, I guess Schwa Olga can make some creepy **** happen), but there's a sample library called East/West Dark Side that has craploads of distorted, evil-sounding stuff.

What sort of program should I use for live performances as a keyboardist?

I've been playing keyboard in a band for a number of months now, using standalone VST programs, especially Pro-53 and Orchestral by Edirol, accessing them from my midi controller, the m-audio axiom 61. Either way I've been feeling held back because I can only use these programs as standalone programs since I'm somewhat scared to use a whole DAW like Fl studio in a live setting to host these virtual instruments. So, is there some kind of program out there that can host my vsts in an easy to manage way that will also allow me to switch between them and like parameters to the assignable knobs and sliders on my controller? Or is opening open my instruments on Fruity Loops my best option? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'm sorry about the length of this question.
