My dad was GOP to the core. He despised WJC and at the time I was apolitical and never understood why dad felt so strongly.
A few days after dad died, I saw a television set running constant news with the banner at the bottom. I asked my cousin what was going on and he told me about the Monica scandal. I asked him what day the story broke and he told me January 20. 1998.
That was same my dad died, and it was the beginning of my political education.
I found the internet thereafter, and the rest is history.

Best way to become politicized is through running a business.From taxes, to regulations, to lawsuits, you see the worst that the political class can do, and they always have their hands out for more, thinking its just so easy to get you to pay up.And like Billy said to the President of Godfathers Pizza, back in 1994 when trying to nationalize the health care industry, that all biz had to do was raise prices, cause he "sure would pay more for a pizza".
