5. his conversion after reading and "thinking about things" is an indictment of the conservative movement

that isn't about thinking at all, but rigid ideology divorced from reality and empathy. Also say a lot that this "wunderkind" was elevated and credibility and respect with conservatives because he parroted what the RW likes to hear instead of being an original thinker. Most conservatives in the media seem to have the maturity of a 13 year old, this guy just grew up! Got to give him credit for going against the forces that were certainly pressuring him to remain in the comfy fold and evolving and embracing a more personal, thoughtful and compassionate view of society and politics.
