A journey through reading about conservative policy ideas, listening to Rush and finally finding this site has opened my eyes. I now look at Republicans as not evil, but watered-down conservatives, beaten down by DC and journalists who continuously try to swing public opinion towards Dems.

That's very insightful. :-)

It may be common knowledge to lifelong conservatives, but it really was somewhat of an epiphany to an idiot indoctrinated Dem like I was.

I don't think long-time conservatives know the power simple information has to change the minds of some of the left.

Kind of like the Matrix...many people in the matrix of the left are only forming opinions based on the press, teachers or the Dems who surround them (mob mentality). Many have never met a conservative (I didn't know any...or at least they didn't let on until I became one), and so didn't understand their views. It was easy to believe they were just evil, without questioning why they believed what they believed.

Now I know that the reason true debate does not exist (or didn't until alternative media and Fox) was that leaders of the left are afraid that conservatives make more sense then is let on by the MSM...and so they resort to charges of racism and ignorance.
