What do Joe Lieberman, Peter Collier and the late Jeane Kirkpatrick all have in common? All are liberals who, between 1968 and the present, found themselves supporting conservatives or conservative values while being attacked by the Left.

Collier is the radical activist who became a conservative author and activist, and has now written “Political Woman,” a biography of Kirkpatrick, who died in 2006. Kirkpatrick is the academic and activist who backed Hubert Humphrey in 1968 and Ronald Reagan in 1980, served as Reagan’s ambassador to the United Nations and made a speech to his convention in 1984 attacking her old party for “blaming America first.”
