HEH: “Sometimes people ask me how I, as a member of the very liberal newspaper industry, came to be a conservative. The answer is that I’ve been around liberals enough to know that we don’t want them running —— well, anything.”

Thankfully, while these guilt trips used to work on me, no longer. Their white guilt is their problem, not mine. They can grovel in their self-hatred and parade their bleeding hearts all day in a futile effort at redemption. But when I left New England, I left that crap behind.

Why am I a conservative? Because I know liberals. There is no grace there. No love there. Only hatred and judgment and pettiness. I joined the St. George’s Facebook page hoping to find old high school classmates. Instead all I found was high school.

It is increasingly like dealing with an angry cult — run out of a middle-school lunchroom.
