This is a fairly long, but interesting and illuminating read.

I am posting it because it rings true to me due to my own very similar awakening.

Thanks for posting. It’s very good and too bad lefties and many conservatives can’t read it.

I’d bet she is familiar with David Horowitz who was raised by Commie parents.

Hillary Rodham had followed Bill Clinton to Arkansas, she helped create the state’s first rape crisis hotline. First I heard about this. Good Lord.

Just when you think the Clinton's can't be more vile.

After watching the Clarence Thomas hearings and all the rats and media outrage only to see crickets over The Bent Ones escapades, made me realize we were being used.

Good read

I cannot comprehend the mindset of the left. The propaganda the news media spews is arrogantly offensive.

I was born conservative. Never have i encouraged or voted for a communist member of the democrat party, nor will i ever.

10. Huffiness (victim, victimizer, defender of victims)
9. Selective Outrage (not consistent)
8. It’s the thought that counts (ignore results)
7. Leftists hate my people (disdain working-class whites)
6. I believe in God
4 & 5. Straw men and “In order to make an omelet you have to break a few eggs.”
2 & 3. It doesn’t work. Other approaches work better. (cities run by Libs for decades fail, while capitalism works)
1. Hate (instead of love & doing good)

She is familiar with Horowitz, she said she went to go heckle him, and wound up liking what he had to say.

What a great read. It verifies everything I am going through right now with some of my pseudo-kumbaya associates.

I read it all. Fascinating. I think her belief in God and contact with charitable Christians is what opened her eyes to the sickening sewer that is atheist Leftism.

As I said, it is very similar to what I went through in my conversion that took several years after being indoctrinated in college.

I learned that like a reformed smoker or alcoholic I was the worst enemy of the liberal friends I still had because I saw through all of their hypocrisy and they would get viciously angry with me for what they saw as betrayal.

I think it was Mark Twain that said, "It is easier to fool a person than to convince them they have been fooled".
