Will Conservatives Ever Get Another Reagan?

C.S. Lewis once wrote: "Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you … into something a little different from what it was before. And taking your life as a whole … you are slowly turning this central thing either into a heavenly creature or into a hellish creature: either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures, and with itself."

Last night when I hit the "send" button on my computer, and sent my column thousands of miles away to my editor, the "central part of me" turned a little in the wrong direction, because I chose to send a column which was neither fair nor balanced.

And if I'd left it that way, that small choice would've helped "turn that central part of me" into "something a little different from what it was before," as Lewis wrote. So I did the right thing and asked my editor to grant me some time to make things right.

I believe with all my heart, as a country we are in a very bad place. After watching the Republican National Convention last week my eyes were opened to the fact that the GOP, with which I once aligned myself, is not much different ideologically than the Democratic Party.
