I stumbled upon a pretty darn good essay by David Mamet at the The Village Voice. I certainly do not make a habit out of reading The Village Voice unless Drudge finds something there. I didn’t know who David Mamet was either (still don’t) but this was too perfect. You have probably heard the saying, “A young conservative has no heart, but an old liberal has no brain.” It seems that David Mamet is living proof of that statement.
So many are down on being a conservative at the moment and the truth is, few leaders for the last eight years have modeled / pushed true conservatism. For some reason the Republican Party continues to stray from his core principles and embrace elements of ideas that we simply do not believe in. Reading essays like this make it a little easier to support McCain even though this article has nothing to do with him.
Enjoy, or not.
