"Yes. I believe that many many people became conservatives that day."
You don't know how true those words are.
Truthfully though, I started coming around during Clinton 2 after the first WTC bombing.
After that I did a lot of soul searching about my liberal views.
Then on 9/11, as I sat at my desk and the first plane roared over my building, I knew something life changing was happening.
Ten seconds later I was looking up at an inferno and I knew then and there that we were now at war and life would never be the same.
The courageous firefighters and policemen that I saw rushing into the WTC and who would not make it out alive changed me forever.
The horror of witnessing the people jumping from 100 floors up changed me forever.
9/11/01 is the day I renounced liberalism once and for all and I will never forget that.
I'm a product of the Great Depression and WWII. We knew hard times and we are tough.
