What rhymes with ‘I was wrong’?

My favorite is:

you are absolutely right
you’ve been right all along
your are absolutely right
and I’ve been wrong.

“relentless scrutiny of the values and beliefs I accepted as gospel.”

This guy has so many credentials in so many areas, yet he is just now admitting that he is thinking for himself and not following others. Amazing!

Do they call them “Neo-Cons” in Canada??

Realizing I was wrong, I tabled my bong.

Amazon review: Book Description
On the morning of September 12, 2001, David Solway was enjoying breakfast in a café on the idyllic Greek island of Tilos. At first believing that the mayhem flickering on the TV screen was a rerun of a B war movie, he soon realized he was viewing the opening stages of the next world war. “From that moment on,” he writes, “nothing was the same.”

In the coming weeks, Solway relentlessly scrutinized the values and beliefs he accepted as gospel. As a member of the approved Left, educated in the roiling universities of the Student Revolution in the utopian Sixties, Solway was duly anti-colonialist, anti-corporatist, anti-Zionist, and postmodern. But his stance, he admits, was founded in “ignorance and laziness” and was no longer tenable. A fresh point of view was necessary.

The “fresh point of view” evolved into this book. Using Michel Houellebecq’s novel Platform and his own long-neglected Jewish roots as his starting points, Solway’s investigation leads him to today’s central predicament: the onslaught of theologically inspired terrorist movements that thrive parasitically on the left-liberal belief system that dominates the sensibility of the West.

We must recognize, Solway insists, that terror and antisemitism are intimately related; that our very civilization is under prolonged attack; and that, for too many years, we have evaded the truth, craving asylum in conciliation, sophistry, and equivocation.

The Big Lie is at once a compelling analysis of our present situation and a stirring call to all of us to reconsider the concepts through which we react to the world.

"Do they call them “Neo-Cons” in Canada??"

The term isn't used as much up here and, when it is, its meaning tends to be even more vague and/or fluid than it is Stateside.

As example, someone merely having no use for the Monarchy & Monarchists might be called a Neo-Con because they're rejecting something once associated with virtually all 'traditional' conservatives.

Also, on a somewhat related note, "patriotism" & "nationalism" have much more two different meanings up here than in the U.S. where they're virtually one and the same thing.
Someone, like myself, can be "patriotic" in the sense of wholeheartedly supporting & respecting our Military & appreciating a lot of Canada's history & cultural traditions but otherwise a "continentalist" - the antithesis of a "nationalist" - in favoring complete union with America.

Although, some things are simpler up here:
While you've got xenophobic moonbats coming at you from both ends of your political spectrum, virtually all of our ultra-nationalist wackos reside far, far out in left field.
Plus, being typical commies in all other respects, and despite all their flag-waving of convenience, they can't be termed legitimately "patriotic".

I went to Amazon too, looking for reader generated reviews. I wanted to see what his former pals had to say about his apostasy. So far, nothing. Maybe the book is just too new, or maybe his intellectual credentials are too solid for them to easily attack him.
