SUBTLE SHIFTS

I love this, not because a liberal is seeing the light and pondering becoming a Republican, but because it's evidence that truth can take seed in a mind and heart that are willing to accept it and have the courage to confront it. For those of us who've been rock-ribbed righties for years, Sheila's turn is a reminder that we shouldn't just write off our political opposites. Truth works. It's also a reminder to us to keep honestly critiquing ourselves and our allies, to keep our own side honest and sincerely dedicated to liberty.

And to Sheila, welcome. Whether you ultimately stay away from the hard left for a day or a lifetime, welcome.
