Ex-GOP

I have blogged for many years on various blogs. But mostly as what I might describe as a right-wing nutjob. That changed when I took a look at reality. Reality and the GOP dont mix well right now. I have left old posts from older days, though they do not reflect where I am now. But you can see the contrast. I read some of them now and I sometimes think "what was I thinking?" But, truth be told, being a right wing nutjob does not require a lot of thinking skills. A lot of parroting and pushing ideas you dont even have to understand. And then getting belligerent when pressed to explain. That's the Rightwing. I know. I was there. -ZR
