And this guy is supposedly a conservative?
This dude has issues, and his gross (in both senses of the word) oversharing of personal information illustrates some of those. He practically brags about promiscuity.
As for the pot use, I sympathize, I know a couple of folks who have used it to mitigate medical conditions. While I don't think that making pot legal for all is a good idea. There is a legitimate argument in such cases for limited medical use.
Sullivan however didn't make it. He instead describe how he is self medicating to treat a symptom of his problem, instead of trying to find out why he has insomnia. His 90 degree turn half way into the article to complain about his alma mater, doesn't help.
I get the feeling that while he was halfway through, someone yelled "SQUIRREL!" When he got back to the keyboard, he just decided to rant about something else. It's like reading Spicoli from Fast Times
Says who?
He might hide behind some presumably "conservative" principles, but if you dig down just a little, you'll find a raving leftist.
There's no such thing as a "gay conservative." Not in this galaxy.
Sullivan endorsed Senator Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination in the 2008 United States presidential election, and Representative Ron Paul for the Republican nomination. He eventually endorsed Obama for president, largely because he believed that he would restore "the rule of law and Constitutional balance"; he also argued that Obama represented a more realistic prospect for "bringing America back to fiscal reason", and expressed a hope that Obama would be able to "get us past the culture war."[38] Sullivan has continued to maintain that Obama is the best choice for president from a conservative point of view.
Yeah, a "conservative" supports Obama and thinks that Obama is conservative. LOL!!! What a joke.
