In addition to the New York Times, the Washington Post and the L.A. Times my morning reading always includes the Daily Dish by Andres Sullivan. Sullivan, like David Brooks, is one of the intellectuals of the right. Or he has been. He recently penned a fascinating and very thoughtful essay on why he has left the right.
It is well worth a read. Sullivan is also gay and Catholic, and is trying to cope with the hatred his church is raining down on him. Eventually he may end up joining us in skepticism as well as rejecting right wing ideology. He’ll be welcome. He’s brilliant and a very good writer.
