Detox: Five Reasons Why I'm Not a Conservative Anymore
"...From my own experience, I know that the best way for us to change minds is not to cave-in. When I was conservative, I had only contempt for progressives who sought to backpedal at every opportunity just to get people to agree with them. I had the most respect for the progressives who were unyielding and uncompromising, who had thoroughly researched the issues and were willing to respectfully debate me.
Progressives need to engage young conservatives in a battle of ideas on college campuses. It is only by fighting this battle with conviction that progressives can beat back the conservative ascendancy."
