My cyber-twin in the neocon world.

Robin, a neo-con who has been writing about her transformation from left to right, has an article at American Thinker today about the speed and completeness of her political transformation.  Once she saw the light, her turnaround was complete.

Although some of our details are different (I’m not a therapist, my parents didn’t die in close proximity to each other, and I’ve never had a life-threatening disease), it’s remarkable how her story parallels mine.  We were both liberals who imbibed it with mother’s milk, and never thought about its contradictions with our core values and our practical life experience.  Once we confronted the cognitive dissonance, liberalism was definitively overly.

It’s interested to see my own psyche in someone else’s head.
