From: "Mark" 

It is a good article, most of his are. I don't think though, that he's a
"former leftist," he just wants to stay alive so he can go back
to his left roots -- he's a realist in that he knows the left will never
protect us, as they always want to form committees and "talk,"
but talking with people that grab handfuls of hair and aim machetes at
Adam's apples isn't conducive to continuing your point of view for very
long
