We can always hope that they’l learn from experience. Trouble is, few of ‘em do.
But those who do have the epiphany - that they’ve been well and truly had by the monstrous Ponzi scheme that is socialism - those are the ones who can become the fiercest champions of liberty. It’s their penance and atonement.

“We can always hope that they’l learn from experience. Trouble is, few of ‘em do.”
I’m not so sure about that. They used to say the definition of a conservative, was a liberal who got mugged. I must say, I was a dem until Carter mugged me and everyone around me as a young man. I had that epiphany, and it was Ronald Reagan. Carter created more conservatives than anyone on the planet I think. I think Obama will do the same. Folks are getting mugged, economically. They are getting mugged by affirmative action. They are getting mugged by taxes. They are getting mugged by having their religious beliefs attacked. They are getting mugged by having their children brainwashed in the schools.
It is no longer called a mugging, it is called a ‘flashmob’. This administration has ‘flashmobbed’ the country, and I think the result will be a whole bunch of people who awaken one day to find themselves as conservatives. Some are just too stupid of course, and others have selfish reasons to stay democrat (gub’mint workers, union workers, the lazy, the permanent victim types), but the rest, I think we will see a resurgence, and the media fears this much, which is why they will attack (and are attacking) anyone with values (Palin, Bachman, Cain, you take your pick).
