Why did I become a conservative? Just look at what I 
    left, and look at who is attacking me to today? Let's face
    it people, you're all cynical enough to know that if I had
    espoused liberal causes, spoken out against the military, 
    got a liberal award for courage and then outed with a porn
    -past, you'd be clamoring for my memoir, and nominating me
    for a diversity ticket with Barack Obama. Instead those 
    who complain about wire-tapping reserve the right to 
    eavesdrop on my private life for political brownie points.

    .... I am embarrassed to say, I thought my fellow 
    conservative friends would distance themselves when this 
    news came out, and I'm touched that the opposite has 
    happened.
