re: Thoughts on Russell Brand?

He's a classic, sincere liberal and that cornerstone of sincerity has caused him to split from the liberal-to-progressive movement because he sees that for the batshit craziness it is.

He's the type who can have an open and honest debate on the role of government and if his points are all countered fully and logically, he's willing to reassess his beliefs. For him, there's little "sports fan" mentality when discussing politics.

We need more people like that, on both sides of the aisle.
