My brother is somewhat similar. However, he is motivated to vote Republican because he isn't in favor gay marriage and other cultural conservative issues.

BTW I just finsihed reading "Aquainas in 90 Minutes" do you know any good books on Aquinas.

I recommend Peter Kreeft's condensed Summa, the "Summa of the Summa." It's used in some seminaries, I hear. Kreeft has also compressed this condensation into "A Shorter Summa." If you're really ambitious, the Summa is available on-line. I read a section every day. It's tough, but worthwhile.

A lot of people seem to like Chesterton's, "The Dumb Ox," but I wasn't overly impressed. I'm a fan of Chesterton generally though.
