However, I have watched conservatives rush to embrace any number of liberals and/or perverts , Russell Brand, Mahr, Stewart, Williams (Juan), Tate, Rowling, Jeffree Star and so fourth, who said something slightly less crazy then their current insanity. Then they act all surprised and hurt when they get bit.
So my answer is, before you let her in, a full body search, complete decontamination and she can sit where I can see her with both hands clearly in view.
You go give peace a chance. I will be up in the sniper's nest covering you in case that does not work out.
Don’t mistake me for some kind of brainless peace-nik who has never observed the behavior of Leftists. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I have spent plenty of time in close contact on the opposite side of protest lines with them, more than the majority of people on this forum. I have seen and experienced close up their vile behavior. My observation is in no way an execrable “give peace a chance” endeavor, a slogan I despise with a burning passion, almost as much as “Imagine there’s no country...”.
I am not “embracing” this person. But I am giving someone room to change their mind.
And as far as I am concerned, that piece she wrote contains a lot of unequivocal admissions about how wrong she was about a lot of things.
She wasn’t hedging about it. I don’t know about you, but I have read a lot things written by Leftists as I approach my seventh decade of life that might be construed as them coming around to “our” side, but they always hedge to give themselves an out, or to evade responsibility for their decisions.
I saw very little of that in that piece she wrote. That could not have been easy to write.
Also, keep in mind that some of the most fervent Conservatives on our side did not start out that way in their lives. David Horowitz is one that comes to mind, and he was further to the Left than 95% of the moonbats we see out there today, someone who was wholly in the camp of a radical enemy dedicated to destroying this country.
Another is Whittaker Chambers. A dedicated Communist wholly devoted to the subjugation of freedom. Yet, in the end, he had to renounce all he had stood for his entire life and embrace liberty.
As for us, we may indeed be in a fight to the death to save this wonderful country of ours from people still classified legally as our fellow Americans, though many of them would be more at home in The People’s Republic of China. Maybe it is too late for this country. Maybe we have shot our bolt. Maybe we are indeed finished, and death and dissolution is the only thing that awaits the United States of America because we have decided that the people we share this country with are our un-repentant and un-reachable enemies, as no doubt many of them are.
I am not there yet. I still hold out hope that this country can be held together in some way. Somehow, someway. I see it as a long shot.
All that said, I will take comfort that you or someone like you will be up in that elevated nest keeping an eye on things, because a free people need that too. So, I will say Thank You.
