To the editor:
As of three days ago I was a diehard liberal Democrat. I followed the trumpet call and marched in lockstep with whatever was declared to be true by the liberals in my family, all my friends and particularly my professors in college. There was no other choice a sane person could make and those who were "conservative" were no more than bible thumping fascists and greedy capitalists who just wanted to exploit all of us.

Within this letter to the editor is the link to the article which inspired his conversion.
Both the letter and the source article are good reads.
Also, I hope it is for real, I think it is.
He doesn’t say how he will vote. It will likely still be liberal because he doesn’t want his hand to shrivel.
He left off his P.S.
I still think you’re bible thumping fascists.
Isn’t this particular derangement supposed to be genetic now?
Good gravy train—how abysmally ignorant and uneducated was he before he read the “magical article?”
President Obama and his minions represent the greatest threat to the United States since its founding. The images of failure from around the globe must not be lost on the American citizens. They must understand that the country's destiny rests in utilizing the governmental structure bequeathed to them by the founders to strip away, as quickly as possible, the power expropriated by today's ruling class.
The winning of elections is tantamount. However, there must also be a concurrent resolve to purge the destructive and delusional philosophy of socialism from the institutions of government. Only then can the United States avoid the fate looming over the horizon.
Spot on. This is where the real battle is.
I had a conversion experience in 1994. Up to that time, I had mainly voted democrat. I had voted for John Anderson, Mondale, Dukakis and Clinton. Like most lib voters, I didn't know squat about politics. I only read the occasional smarmy lib column in the paper and believed all the crap liberals believe. I was quite happy when B.J. Clinton was elected in 1992.
By 1994, I was proudly voting a straight 'R' ticket for the first time. I was actually already becoming more conservative before that point. I remember a friend asking me why I was voting for Clinton when I was not a liberal. I was pro-life, pro-death penalty, and generally in disagreement with the 'rats on important matters. As I saw Hillary and the gang try to take over healthcare, I gradually saw the Clintons for the power-hungry frauds they were.
I started reading National Review and Weekly Standard and became a "right-wing extremist". Like most here, I am a political junkie now. I wonder how many conversions like mine have taken place because of "The One". I should think quite a lot.

I hope it is for real too but......... we have been lied to before.
It’s hard for me to imagine that some number of the left’s useful idiots have not woken up. Despite Onanda’s propaganda organs spiking most demrat sleaze stories, some of the the fraud and voter tampering is seeing the light of day. Not to mention that most of the “negative” hits directed at conservative candidates just can’t grow the legs they once did when the MSM controlled information. And that is thanks to the internet.
You are not alone. My personal “right of passage’ Parallels yours, right down to the date. It took Clinton looking me in the eye and lying on the tube. When his B.S. became public knowledge, I, at long last, finally “got it”. These people were about themselves, not our Country.
Combine that, with the understanding The Democratic party of old, is not the same party of today - the “old” has been cooped by the always present communist's.
Unfortunately, and frighteningly, far to many of the old party democrat's are either going along unknowingly or willingly. These close elections, in the face of all the information available to each of us today, is what frightens me - and should frighten each and every one of us. Bad politician's of all parties has always cursed us, but when such a significant number of the electorate willingly drinks the cool-aid - solutions at the ballot box may not come in time.
