Within this letter to the editor is the link to the article which inspired his conversion.

Both the letter and the source article are good reads.

Also, I hope it is for real, I think it is.

He doesn’t say how he will vote. It will likely still be liberal because he doesn’t want his hand to shrivel.

Isn’t this particular derangement supposed to be genetic now?

From the article that influenced him:

President Obama and his minions represent the greatest threat to the United States since its founding. The images of failure from around the globe must not be lost on the American citizens. They must understand that the country's destiny rests in utilizing the governmental structure bequeathed to them by the founders to strip away, as quickly as possible, the power expropriated by today's ruling class.

The winning of elections is tantamount. However, there must also be a concurrent resolve to purge the destructive and delusional philosophy of socialism from the institutions of government. Only then can the United States avoid the fate looming over the horizon.

Spot on. This is where the real battle is.

I don't know if the writer is quite there yet in becoming a conservative.

I had a conversion experience in 1994. Up to that time, I had mainly voted democrat. I had voted for John Anderson, Mondale, Dukakis and Clinton. Like most lib voters, I didn't know squat about politics. I only read the occasional smarmy lib column in the paper and believed all the crap liberals believe. I was quite happy when B.J. Clinton was elected in 1992.

By 1994, I was proudly voting a straight 'R' ticket for the first time. I was actually already becoming more conservative before that point. I remember a friend asking me why I was voting for Clinton when I was not a liberal. I was pro-life, pro-death penalty, and generally in disagreement with the 'rats on important matters. As I saw Hillary and the gang try to take over healthcare, I gradually saw the Clintons for the power-hungry frauds they were.

I started reading National Review and Weekly Standard and became a "right-wing extremist". Like most here, I am a political junkie now. I wonder how many conversions like mine have taken place because of "The One". I should think quite a lot.
