The "conversion story" that politically awoke me: Radical Son - David Horowitz
Horowitz was nearly as radical and leftist as Ayers, as nearly as I can tell. His conversion is well worth the read.

Too many to post — including my own and the stories of other folks I know!
But in all seriousness, I’d never trust anybody who converts instaneously from “complete leftist” to conservative (or libertarian) all in one fell swoop. That kind of behavior borders on the insane.
In my opinion, a sincere and sane person is always going to make a gradual political change. So a great dis-service is done by those posters who would criticize Mamet for his still having one “imperfection” or another.
As Lao-tze said,
“A journey of 10,000 miles begins with one step.”
Or to flip the famous Menshevik slogan, “No enemies on the right!”
