>And when I finally crack and become a neoconservative
I've been a conservative. The company is even stranger than being a leftist, and I don't mean that in a good way. For every Chris Caldwell there are ten people who will tell you about the Queen of England's alliance with Henry Kissinger, or espouse caveman sexual ethics, or will insist that minimum wage laws are immoral and corrupting, or take policy guidance from Leviticus, or even, as in the case of a former Party of the Right Chair who was briefly a GOP candidate for governor of Massachusetts, sit naked in his office while eating a Chinese lunch.
