Right up front, there are some things that I need to tell you about myself. I want you to know where I came from and how I got to where I am today — my walkaway path. I don’t want to ever be accused of deception or dishonesty. So, in full disclosure:
I was not born a Constitutionalist. I did not live my life with an inherent understanding of Liberty and what is necessary to defend it. I was not raised a Christian. For some, these things will be a stumbling block, so you need to know from me.
I was raised a Democrat. The only thing more evil than Satan was a Republican in my home. There were no choices to be made in voting…straight Democratic Party line was the only choice.
I was an environmentalist — a rabid environmentalist. Some of my best friends were members of GreenPeace and I supported the WWF and PETA. I believed the earth would be better if there we no people at all. I was a vegetarian by ideology, not for health reasons, for almost 15 years.
I believed in the “good” of scientific manipulations of food and the necessity of vaccines. Not only believed this, but helped create them when I was a biochemist for Monsanto.
I believed in Global Warming and defended it vigorously. I believed in the Big Bang and openly criticized those who believed in creationism as ignorant and misled.
I believed Government’s duty and purpose was to be a provider for the people. I supported programs that would give the government more control over the people. I even believed a One World Government was the best way to go to ensure “global peace.” I supported the principles of socialism, although I cannot claim to have known at the time it was socialism, per se, that I supported.
I supported abortion and often openly condemned others for being pro-life. I have argued with abortion protesters on street corners and called them names that I am not proud of.
I was not only not a Christian, but I practiced many other religions, including many occult versions. I was bitter against God and felt that only ignorant, weak people needed faith. I was too intelligent and too educated for such a feeble crutch.
I was not born with the knowledge that I have now. I did not wake up one morning with a divine epiphany. I traveled a long road to walkaway from the lies. Learned some hard and painful lessons. My beliefs were challenged and I came to know the Truth. Now I am a true constitutionalist. I have written six books about the Constitution and Liberty. I have a radio show heard by 2 million people every week. I teach the Constitution all over America and even started my own online training program called “Liberty First University.”
I am able to stand firm on what I believe because I have discovered the difference between truth and lies. I am able to defend the truth because I walked the path. I can show you my path of discovery, and to be guaranteed it is not tied to any political motivation or personal gain — unless you call the liberation that comes from knowing the truth in the face of lies, a personal gain.
So when someone says to you…”Did you know that person used to be associated with this or that group or used to believe this… How can you possibly believe him now?” Remember this story.
It is good to question someone’s “transformation.” You should do that. If they cannot show you that walkaway path, step by step, you should question their motivations.
But do not discount someone’s current position just because of who they used to be or who they used to associate with or what they used to believe. Sometimes it is not a selfish or deceptive motivation, but a path to enlightenment.
Do you have a family member who is a progressive? Do you have a co-worker that is hostile to the truth? Don’t give up hope! We have an obligation to bring the truth, to show them they can walkaway from lies. When truth is the enemy or the source of hostile response, you know for sure that someone is afraid they are believing lies! Their foundation is being rocked, so keep on rocking! Keep shining that light. Keep walking a consistent walk. Saint Francis of Assisi said, “All… should preach by their deeds.” Let your deeds be Truth, let your walk be Liberty.
Remember, we all had to wake up somehow. All you have to do is take the first step to truth and then walkaway from the lies.

Yep, it's important to remember that Conservatives move as individuals and Liberals move in herds.
The whole "walkaway" movement is a double-edged sword. That liberals are moving to comparative safety under the Trump Conservative platform is a good thing, temporarily, but it's important to remember that they're fair weather friends. When the winds shift again - and they will, they always do - these people will be on to the next thing that they perceive as providing them shelter.
See posts #4; 10; 18; 40. Having some detail about the transformational mechanism would make me want to read your books. That is all. You tell me, “...don’t comment....”
Your wish has been granted.
I did not say that vaccines were the only significant medical advance, but that they were the most significant one.
Among the many medical advances, only vaccines deliver so much benefit for so little cost.
It would have been more informative if she shared how she transformed from A to B, but she left that part out.

Yes, that is what I was waiting for.
Authors sell low grade books by network posting on the internet. Author seminars say this.
High grade, high quality books, sell themselves.
So please buy my book, "The Idiot's Guide to Book Selling by Posting for Dummies."
Lol!
A person can live a successful life vaccine free.
But a person cannot live a successful life prevention free, in spite of all advances.
Vaccine benefit is somewhere between limited to non existent.
Bodily accident damage repair is a true medical miracle.
Look out for future #Walkaway to be censored, removed, or bait switched to a different party. ;-)
Oops.Left you out of ping inadvertently. Please excuse.
No author listed. S****y excerpt.
Defections are the scariest thing for a liberal mover and shaker to contemplate and the left spend’s half it’s propaganda dollars battling potential apostasy. But even scarier for them is the fact that the defector brings a particular savvy and energy to the life long follow up to their conversion which can, if well utilized, create a wave of defections from the enemy camp. An interesting and potentially intense public debate would be between converts, lol!
I had been disillusioned with the Democrat party since the Carter era, but the Monica Lewinski affair finally broke the camel's back for me.
If any of my Republican voting coworkers had taken ten minutes to talk to me, I might have jumped ship in the Reagan years. I certainly did give him credit for bringing things around in those years.
I'm a former democrat too... NOT easy to get off the plantation but it's sooooooo wonderful to be free...help others make the break when they start seeing the light.
Only if they live in a sterile bubble. Otherwise, they can be exposed to potentially deadly diseases from very ordinary activities.
There are only two ways to develop immunity to an infectious disease. One is by getting the disease. That way is dangerous, as infectious diseases can cause significant and permanent disability or death. Tetanus, for example, is preventable by a vaccine every ten years. Without that vaccine, an incident as random and seemingly innocuous as having a rusty nail pierce your skin can cause you to get an incredibly painful illness that causes all of your muscles to contract and ends in death. And so on; I can go through symptoms and consequences of different vaccine-preventable diseases all day.
The other way to develop immunity is through vaccination, which exposes your immune system to portions of pathogenic organisms that cause it to develop an immune response. In this way, if you are exposed to a pathogen, your immune system immediately attacks and kills the pathogen without you ever being aware you were exposed.
Vaccines have saved countless millions of lives by preventing common diseases that used to kill most children before the age of five. One of the most horrific diseases known was wiped out due to vaccination. Infectious disease is no longer the top killer (still in the top ten, though).
As I said, vaccines are the most important and significant medical development ever.
BTW, if you have not guessed already, I am not susceptible to anti-vax propaganda. The same people who claim that there are too many people on earth and that the population should be reduced to some arbitrarily low number are the same ones trying to scare people with anti-vax hooey. You figure it out.
Not to thread hijack, but for what you say is DANGEROUS and blatently INCORRECT. Reader beware.
Thanks for posting that. Just had a chance to show it to my liberal daughter. She was mesmerized and said it was a good video. Which I think was a first at my attempts to redpill. I obviously don’t speak there language and it’s tough to get though. Nice to see people waking up on both sides.
You’re welcome. It needs to be seen and I’m glad it had a positive impression on your daughter.
Yes, people are waking up. Many of the libs who are waking up won’t admit it ..... yet.
I don’t know what you are talking about. I never forgot about Elian at all...and who do you mean is mean-spirited?
Interesting article and I think you’ll see more #Walkaways. As I said earlier, the blue wave is Dems LEAVING the party, not electorally...
