Civic Virtue

This short article by Andrew Sullivant expresses my concern for our country as well as any has. I highly encourage all of you to read it.

Hey, here's something fascinating. I'm a longtime liberal - a devoted member of the John Rawls/Ronald Dworkin fan club. And yet, I've found that two of my favorite writers/thinkers over the last 15 years, Jonathan Rauch and Andrew Sullivan, are staunch conservatives.

What's happening to me?

Great quote by Adams!

One interesting note about your favorite conservatives: they depart from traditional conservatism in some very deep way that you agree with. Rauch and Sullivan are both homosexual, correct, and write in favor of gay marriage?

Rauch opposes conservatives on speech freedom in that most excellent book you recommended to me.
