I have a confession to make -- I'm conservative and I'm a racist. Okay, at least according to liberal doctrine I'm a racist. A couple of my recent posts seem to support that conclusion. Each night after the convention speeches I posted some quick, first-instinct assessments of the speeches. There seems to be a pattern in my assessments that looks like it might be racist. Parenthetically, I should add, I'm a middle-aged white guy, which makes the racism on my part extra evil.
