‘Sadly as a child of the 70’s your public school education system had already been taken over by the “progressives”’
I was actually blessed to have a couple patriotic truth-driven history teachers back in the 70s, and I imagine that most students had it much worse even then.
This might ‘sound’ weird, but CNN was actually conservative in the mid-80s. That was before Barbarella had any influence over Ted Turner. And I heard Pat Buchanan on Crossfire. That was probably the first crack in my liberal armor. Before that I was such a sick puppy that I thought ‘Eat the Rich’ by Krokus was an awesome song. And if I knew that Bill Ayers’ Weathermen wanted to kill 25 million people to overthrow our system of government — heck — mixed feelings since overpopulation seemed real.
I was one confused kid, a flaming leftist who thought Daniel Shorr was heroic when he quit [then conservative] CNN.

Lynn Russell comes to mind. Had a concealed carry license and a PI license, did some PI work on the side for kicks, IIRC.
