So was I. Thankfully, exposure to free-market economics and a subcription to The Nation woke me to the true nature of the Left.
Ten years on from my left-wing dalliance, I subscribe to Liberty, am an NRA member (yes, I was once part of the "let's ban all guns" crowd) and post on Free Republic.
Auburn, eh? And did he have this revelation before or after his sentencing? ;)
Ah, well - they say the first step is admitting you have a problem....
A self-righteous liberal is the most dangerous person on god's green earth.
Greetings from Geneva!
This one is actually true. It seems to me that we (as pro-market force) have to admit this right in their (the anti-market forces') faces - market economy is unfair to prols, however, it is the best deal prols (including myself) can ever get.
And about JFK, as far as I understand he was the first class hawk and he was deeply pro-market person.
His journey will be complete if he becomes a FReeper.
Anyway, here is the gospel from www.winstonchurchill.org:
"If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain." There is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this. Paul Addison of Edinburgh University makes this comment: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! and would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal.
In my early 20's, the first time I was able to vote and wasn't as political as I am now, I voted for Clinton. Yes, I regret it deeply. I soon learned in my mid to late twenties what liars liberals are. I started listening to Rush and our local afternoon a.m. talk show host, Mark Belling. I learned to see through the b.s. the Clinton and all of their left wing nut jobs were feeding the American people. At any rate, I'm proud to be Republican and feel sorry liberals as they don't know any better and need garbage spoon fed to them on a daily basis.
God Bless Ronald Reagan!
Any relation to Roger Rabbit?
some books you should read:
'i was a slave in russia' by john noble
'a day in the life of ivan denisovitch' by alexander solzhenitsyn
'red scarf girl' by ji li jiang
joe mc carthy was RIGHT!!
Later on, I discovered that following the morality that my parents taught me was actually a nice way to live. I discovered the real truth--you cannot be happy UNLESS you are moral. That pushed me into the "independent" mode.
What really made me wake up was moving from West Texas to Northern New Mexico. There I discovered people physically, loudly protesting what happened to their ancestors five hundred years ago. I saw people complaining that there was no affordable housing yet in the same breath demand people not to build on their own private land because (and I'm not making this up) it will spoil their "view." I saw many families owning land they had bought at a premium and weren't allowed to build on it.
Public works were mired in bureaucracy. A bridge that had broken ground in the 60's was still unbuilt. Protests everywhere, every day by government workers. In other words, a socialist utopia.
We didn't last a year. When my husband was told in a bar, "You Texans are losers! We kicked your ass at the Alamo," that was the last straw. My husband took a 30% pay cut so we could to come back to Texas. Well worth it.
