"Leaving the left"
Read the article: Leaving the left
Keith Thompson wrote this article for the San Francisco Chronicle describing why he is leaving the "left." This personal essay powerfully describes why the author feels like an alien within his own party. A self-proclaimed liberal, Thompson is leaving his party of more than thirty years because of what the American cultural left has become. He writes, "Leading voices in America's "peace" movement are actually cheering against self-determination for a long-suffering Third World country because they hate George W. Bush more than they love freedom." (italics mine)
Read this article. You may not agree with everything he believes or says, but he certainly offers commentary perfectly describing a party that is imploding.

We could use more like Keith.
Although he isn't really joining the "right," he is at least leaving the wrong...I mean left.
