As the Anglicans used to say, "read, mark, and inwardly digest".
It drives me mad when so-called conservatives on this board don't really want to conserve anything at all, but want the market to run everything (or--the more usual, want the market to run everything, except for the areas where they vigorously uphold some kind of traditional morality, where the state is to be turned into an enforcer for their moral vision).
Even though, on one measure, as a former leftist (when I was 13 I was a Marxist--I outgrew it a along with acne) I'm a neocon, I used to say I was the 'last person to join the old right'.
(BTW: now that we've liberated the color red from the left, can we have the word 'liberal' back: after all it's really ours, and their proper name is "socialist'.)
