Political Conversion

You know, it's really weird when a former Democrat like me doesn't feel like anything really changed in me, aside from the fact that I now read more and think more than I did when young of course, but when I find articles I think state things well and appropriately, they are on "right wing" blogs?!

Since when is respect for self and country 'right wing'? Who made patriotism a four letter word?

I really liked these articles -- I couldn't agree more...
