re: #198 elbruce

As an aside, I was F5’ing ThinkProgress around the exact time that the LGF webmaster dude decided to come to us to announce his big switch from neocon to moderate. Which by the way, I must say counts as one of the most significant ideological changeovers I can think of in 20th/21st C. politics at any level. I actually remember seeing those posts where he was practically begging us “progressives” to come check him out…

It’s taken me a few years to take him seriously, but since I’ve heard from around the way that LGF has become a better (more even) mix of lib/con discussion, I’m deciding to look into it now. Looks pretty lively so far.

Smart people here, from all angles. I hope I can keep up.

A few years?

The transition has pretty much been in the past 12 months. When I came here I had to name myself to identify myself as a centrist democrat and was warned I’d be in the minority and that was less than a year ago.
