It took him the Tea Party to finally have his fill of libertarians? I will grant that some of core of that ideology does appeal to me (I like to be left alone) -- but what part of a conspiracy around every corner and some of their more, ehem, interesting ideas about society and its members, or hell -- freaking chemtrails! -- is attractive here? (or shouldn't make a sane person run for the damn hills)?
That said, I think he's still a goober for going "bunny hugging" liberal as well (maybe because I prefer to kill and eat bunnies rather than hug them).
I'm not impressed by the writer's switch either, but his reasoning is sound - it's conservatism's "swinging from one ideological bent to another" that's resulted in chaos.
I do remember something about Ted Cruz and supporters having to ride to sure defeat on principle,..
That is the problem -- all sides are so incredibly whacked that people don't know which way to turn. I suppose this may be a good thing in a sense: whatever sanity is left in folks is telling them to "run away!". Unfortunately they run away straight into the arms of more craziness because there is no safe harbor for sanity.

Swinging from one ideological bent to another is only sympotmatic of a chaotic mind.
