Jonathan Krohn PWNS the right-wing!

The former conservative "Wonder Boy" runs OVER the right-wing nutcases.

I laughed my head off how he ended his essay at Salon:

"So this is what this story boils down to: A 17-year-old has different opinions than he did at 13. People may be disappointed by how underwhelming that is, but it’s how the world works. Some people move on with life, mature, and realize that they don’t know everything nor will they ever know everything. Then again, some don’t."

"I would love it if a bunch of angry right-wingers stopped saying stupid things about me. I also want a six-pack, a mansion in the Hamptons and a beautiful woman with cans the size of my head. None of these things will happen, and I’m pretty comfortable with that. More accurately, I’m comfortable with who I am, which is all I can ever hope for anyway."

Those he holds at age 17 don't mean a hell of a lot more than that.

He should come back when he gets to be about 35 or 40 and his thinking has been tested by experience. When he does I'll pay attention because he seems intelligent.

But until then -
