Well, you know what they say. The first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

I’d think the racial politics alone would cure any taxpaying leftist with any semblance of an education.

It is a good read, it would be nice if he made us a shorter version for passing on to others.

I was watching “The Autobiography Of Nicolae Ceausescu” and what struck me forcefully was how a young man who was genuinely adored by his people turned into a soulless monster over time.

There is something about leftist/communist philosophies that corrupts people and turns them into people who believe the means justify the end. When your only ethics is power then things go straight down the road to hell. You may have all the ideals and best intentions in the world but being ignorant of the consequences involved in them can lead to one’s ruin.

That’s why I conclude such philosophies can never work. It never worked in communist countries and it won’t work in America.

Front Page Magazine makes me sign into some weird physhing site to send the article by email. I hate that.

[smokingfrog]

Interesting. And a good reminder to us to not become like those who oppose us.

Long read, but worthwhile. This enlightened woman, by the way, is still teach Women’s and Gender Studies. I wonder how her class runs these days.

[dhs12345]

Excellent. This article sums it up very nicely.

The Left needs a good house cleaning. Unfortunately, that will never happen.

Worst of all, people such as minorities, women, etc. believe the lies.

No wonder Leftists and Islamists get along so well (at least at a distance).
They both overreact to minor slights but let many real problems slide.

I might be impressed with Danusha’s getting out of bed with Satan, if she had included a list of leftists she had sent to prison with her inside knowledge of the evil segment of the human race.

An extraordinary young woman. To make a change of this nature requires becoming honest with oneself- a difficult task in itself but even more so when looking squarely at what you believe and what the truth is.

There’s plenty of hate on the right as well. ..sometimes I feel it myself and notice
how it poisons my mind and ability to think clearly.

Ten reasons, and never touched on the single biggest reason I ceased being a liberal. [For me it was a multi-step process. I didn’t become a conservative the day I stopped being a liberal. That took a while. It was a huge, titanic shift, after all.]

Anyway, I chucked liberalism when I realized the extent and frequency with which they outright lie. Honesty & integrity have always mattered to me. When I was a liberal, I was an honest liberal. Slowly but surely, I noticed I was in an increasing minority. The mainstream liberals all around me lied relentlessly, without shame, and often seemingly without any self-awareness of the deceit. I became very depressed when I realized I belonged to a political ideology that had institutionalized lying/dishonesty—and indeed, which could not exist in the absence of wholesale, fundamental deceit.

It took a while to get from there to here. But as I said, it was the realization symbiotic relationship between liberalism and dishonesty that began the seismic shift. I guess those of us who have converted each have an individual story to tell.

How far left was I? So far left my beloved uncle was a card-carrying member of the Communist Party in a Communist country. When I returned to his Slovak village to buy him a mass card, the priest refused to sell me one. So far left that a self-identified terrorist proposed marriage to me. So far left I was a two-time Peace Corps volunteer and I have a degree from UC Berkeley.

OMG - THAT really is 'left'... makes some in my family look like conservatives...
