Keith Thompson, former leftist, blogs about his new book, Leaving The Left, to hit bookstores and be sold via Amazon beginning Thursday.
(I like the fact that it's published by Sentinel Books!)
He begins:
It started as an essay last year for the San Francisco Chronicle, leading to a contract with Sentinel Books to describe the steps and stages by which I came to realize that the contemporary left is unalterably at odds with the classical liberal tradition, which ironically finds its greatest advocates these days among many conservatives (and of course libertarians, federalists, constitutionalists, and a whole lot of Americans who don't much cotton to labels but are committed to seeing America continue to thrive).
I plan to buy that book. I'd recommend it to all, including leftists.
