Rod Dreher, author of Crunchy Cons, is now blogging at beliefnet. You probably won't agree with everything that Rod says, but his perspectives might cause you to think twice about some of the cultural and relgious issues of the day.

JB OPENS HIS BIG TRAP:
And just like that, a counter-crunchy movement has sprung up. Check out the Contra Crunchy Conservative.
I am currently reading Crunchy Cons but don't quite know what I think about the whole thing yet. A few thoughts I have had about halfway through:
1. I hate the word "Crunchy" it just sounds wussy to even say the word out loud
2. He's right that being a conservative means more than your position on Iraq--how you lead your life is more important
3. Parents have to battle a depraved culture to raise a child with values
4. There seems to be WAY too much emphasis on food so far. I can only put that in perspective by seeing how much time he spends on more important things later in the book
Stay tuned.
