So, let's see. You used to call yourself a liberal. But things changed after 9/11, and now you're not sure what to call yourself anymore. Try "neo-neocon" on for size.

About Me
- Name: neo-neocon
I'm a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England. Surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely leaving the fold and becoming that dread thing: a neocon. My friends and family are becoming sick of what they see as my inexplicable conversion, so I've started this blog to give vent to my frustration. I have a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and my politics make me a pariah there, too. Little did I know that I moved in such politically homogeneous circles. Why the apple? See this.

Not my favorite writer by any stretch, but this is a fine and memorable passage. Thanks for the reminder of whence it came. :D
"Whence" - pretty fancy verbiage, eh? Heheheee!
The Breitbart piece on Roger's site was heartbreaking.
You're right "it tolls for thee (us)"
Too bad there's a squad of Marines holding that bell from sounding. That way, the rest of the town can get some good sleep.
Not trying to picky, but doesn't it sound better as "from whence it came"?
