Confessions Of A Former Dittohead

The Republican who aame in from the cold is a riveting personal and political story showing the saner parts of the human race how Republicans think, and what can be done to change that thinking. Everyone knows a dittohead. In addition to being devotees of the Bush Administration and its continued lunatic plunge towards unilateral disaster, they’re also loud, judgmental and sure they are always right. From abortion to gay marriage to international defence to fiscal policy, the dittohead knows what the dittohead has been told by Dubyah and that’s the truth, the whole truth and nothing but. Confessions of a Former Dittohead is the true story of how one American turned away from the lies and distortions of the Republican Party to become a Liberal Democrat. Originally a diary, it follows Jim Derych on a personal odyssey from the heart of conservative darkness to the light of liberalism, as he shares his observations and techniques with a progressive audience in the hope of winning the battle against the Republican menace. In addition to showing how the accumulated experiences of his life - a friend who had an abortion, a gay college room-mate, his time spent in the Young Republicans - turned him away from the Republican Party, Confessions of a Former Dittohead also discusses the major political and social issues of modern times - abortion, gay marriage, evolution, domestic security - in order to show how dittoheads think and what liberals and progressives can do to change that thinking.
