Seems that way . . . I guess that’s the benefit of looking at this mess from our lofty perspective of being so close to 70 years old. We may not be smart . . . but we sure seen it all before, or at least our schools still taught us true American history.
I feel bad for all these young people that base their understanding of patriotism from what their modern socialistic teachers have poured into their heads.
Perhaps she’s had a political epiphany.
Thank you. So many easily duped.
Wow, some folks on this thread are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Who cares if she’s a liberal when she’s standing up against a monstrosity? We’re not electing her president for pete sake. We need more liberals and left-leaning folks to speak out on this effort.
If you think the Patriot Act was bad, wait ‘til this hits the streets...
Variously attributed to Cicero or Isocrates.
One of the downsides of FR I've experienced over the past 20+ years is the sheer number of holier-than-thou, self-righteous people applying their Politically Pure Certification Tests to every GOP politician, to every conservative pundit on TV or radio or print, and most of all - to each other.
She knows how to talk the talk.
For me her actions speak so loud I can not hear a word she says but that is not the case for everyone.
She’s still a leftist, but an honest and fair leftist, not a crazed lunatic. Which, nowadays, makes her look like a “conservative” considering she’s less a crazed leftist than most of the Lincoln Project.
She’s the type of leftist that you could at least work with.

“Tulsi Gabbard is a very dangerous person.”
Could put her in any position that is currently occupied by BIDEN/HARRIS/PELOSI/SCHUMER, even McConnell,
and we would be safer. She may not have all of the right ideas, but SWEETMARYMOTHEROFJ, she is at least sane.
Here she is waffling on the issue. But she does discuss her support for slavery reparations in this article.
She is not sane. Please investigate her positions on the issues.

Same!!
Listen to Quinn in the Morning every day on my drive in to work.
She grew up with a very conservative father and both of them gave speeches on real marriage and the evils of abortion. Her old man is Catholic. Her mother is a white gal from Indiana, who was into some new age religion then started saying she was a Hindu. Her daughter did the same thing. She joins the military and claims it made her liberal and believe in
homo “marriage.” Her story sounds ridiculous. She probably adopted the liberal line to stay in good with democrats. Just as soon she was no longer a democrat member of Congress she started talking like a republicans. She
sponsored a bill to stop abortions when a baby can feel pain and another bill against saying men and women are biologically the same. It would not surprise me if she leaves the democrat party. She’s more conservative than RINOs now.
Ok, the lesson continues.
Churchill never said that not paraphrased it.
Accurately citing quotes is very important.
I once heard a great comment supposedly made by Churchill. While trying to track its veracity I came across a Churchill institute. I emailed them and got a response from their director who told me the quote was inaccurate. The director was Churchill’s great grandson. That was pretty cool
Wow, thanks
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. "I think" has no place on FREE REPUBLIC.
Wikipedia
Tulsi Gabbard (/ˈtʌlsi ˈɡæbərd/; born April 12, 1981) is an American politician and United States Army Reserve officer who served as the U.S. Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021. Elected in 2012, she was the first Hindu member of Congress
One of the most famous made-up quotes was something you saw quite often on a very popular poster on Boomer's college dorm walls in around 1969 into the mid-70s.
The quote sounded very close to things Nixon was saying, about the Silent Majority, and/or about Law & Order needing to be restored to stop students rioting on college campuses, etc.
Only the poster had a photo of Adolf Hitler, and the quote was attributed to him. Everyone accepted the quote unquestioningly as a genuine Hitler quote that sounded eerily like Nixon.
But I remember much later reading in a debunking book or maybe just a debunking article regarding that era, that someone tried to track down the exact date and place Hitler said it. Surprise, surprise, not a single Hitler historian could pin down the quote. They finally tracked it all back to a lone college prof who at first said he couldn't remember where he found it, but later admitted to making it up, with his excuse being that "it certainly WAS something you could expect from both Hitler and Nixon, so there".
Thank you for your due diligence. It only proves that we can’t believe everything we read on the internet. I guess its my bad. I did know that Santayana is the original author of those words, and will quote him in the future. I thought that I preferred the paraphrase.
