...a path that's similar to my own: from libertarian to supporter of President Obama.
In the American Conservative today, Bartlett has a piece called "Revenge of the Reality-Based Community: My life on the Republican right -- and how I saw it all go wrong."
It's a good read. Here are just two quotes that could have come directly from me:
For the record, no one has been more correct in his analysis and prescriptions for the economy’s problems than Paul Krugman.
And:
The final line for me to cross in complete alienation from the right was
my recognition that Obama is not a leftist. In fact, he’s barely a
liberal—and only because the political spectrum has moved so far to the
right that moderate Republicans from the past are now considered
hardcore leftists by right-wing standards today. Viewed in historical
context, I see Obama as actually being on the center-right.
