From Reagan to Obama (a personal journey)

Thanks for posting this link and introducing me to this writer. I always admire people who can be centered and grounded in strong beliefs but also evolve and be open to different points of views. Growing up in Oklahoma, I longed to escape the narrow orthodoxy of the radical Right that dominated the mindset. Twelve years in San Francisco and having had nearly that many in Manhattan, I often encounter an equally inflexible orthodoxy on the left that expects me to swallow everything passed down. I still would probably qualify as left leaning, but I am pleased to see that there are intelligent people on both sides, willing to admit their foibles and not paint people on the opposite side as rabid demons.
