JOSEPH PERKINS THE UNION-TRIBUNE

Knowing when it's time to quit

February 25, 2005

(snip)

Well, after nearly 15 years of daily deadlines, writing three to four editorials a week, in addition to a column, this seems as good a time as any to walk away from the grind.

I owe a debt of gratitude to my loyal readers, in San Diego and around the country, for supporting my writings over the years. And to the folks at FreeRepublic.com, Lucianne.com and RealClearPolitics.com – my three favorite Web sites – for occasionally posting my columns and giving my writings an even wider audience.

Indeed, I considered it my mission to counterbalance the liberal orthodoxy that prevails on most of the nation's opinion pages. I viewed myself as a voice of the majority of Americans who are right of center on the political spectrum.

I'm referring to the folks who live in so-called red states – or in red counties, like San Diego, in otherwise blue states, like California – whose conservative values are viewed contemptuously by the liberal elite who dominate academia and Hollywood and the putative mainstream media.

3. Has appeared in the San Diego Union Tribune

at least, online. Have never read him, the first paragraph of his column would be enough. I wonder whether he is a token conservative black.
