I'll be flamed, but I will also say she is an excellent writer and I enjoy reading her stuff.
Well, I wouldn’t flame you, though I would disagree.
I stopped reading her stuff about ten years ago. And when I found out she supported Obama, well...there are only three choices: That person is ignorant, stupid, or liberal, perhaps all three.
But that person cannot be a conservative. He was (and is) so radical that support for him and conservatism (even of the most liberal stripe) are mutually exclusive 100% of the time.
