I’m pretty happy with my entry into the TPMCafe Book Club about The Purity Myth. It’s about how the Bristol Palin situation exposed the tension between the traditional conservatives (where chastity is more about appearances than actions) and evangelicals (the opposite). Of course, most conservatives fall somewhere in between these extremes, but they are contradictory and that’s fascinating to me.
