Charles — I am a generally left of center guy who has supported far more Dems than Reps over my past 29 voting years. I especially appreciate your courage in pointing out the wingnuts on the fringes. That intellectual honesty is missing from both sides of the political debate. And that honesty is the main reason I come to this site to read reasoned arguments for what I view as TRUE conservatism.

When I look at the wingnut sites like WND, there is nothing they say that would cause me to rethink a position or to consider voting for a Republican candidate. But, you, on occassion, do.

I wish more bloggers on the left would be equally honest in condemning excesses on my side.

Kudos.
