I did not realize until I read this piece that I am a lunatic. Me a 46 year old lawyer. Who pays six figures in taxes and is a Conservative. I did not realize that opposing a takeover of 1/6th of our economy by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid makes me a lunatic. I did not know that concerns over the failed stimulus, the false claims of jobs saved or created makes me a lunatic. I was unaware that concerns over the utter lack of transparency in the passing of the House bill renders me a lunatic.

Thanks Slate.
