    Camille--a relative breath of fresh air

    I LOVE reading Camille. I am not part of the "Limbaugh Brigade," but I am a religious, social conservative. Camille is obviously an independent thinker, and that is exactly what infuriates so many of her detractors. She deviates from the party line they subscribe to, even though they fancy themselves as intelligent thinkers. Camille is the real thing. Her insights are simple yet profound. Her reasoning is logical and seems to be founded in an inner decency and quest for deeper truth. She is a breath of fresh air in a society of narrow, shallow, unprincipled, amoral and party-driven pundits.

    Camille is a beautiful, thoughtful woman. Her frank and reasoned articulations are truly refreshing.
