Absolutely!

Being born in 1974, my first opportunity to really hear a Democrat was the likes of Michael Dukakis, Jerry Brown, and the Clintons. I never could QUITE figure out why my grandparents voted Democrat, my parents voted Republican, and BOTH were staunchly anti-abortion!

I was a junior in high school during Desert Storm, and you can bet that our left-leaning teachers influenced us by telling us that the war was all about oil. We didn't hear anything about Saddam's regime and his murderous ways...we just heard about "no blood for oil." I'll admit that I bought into the propaganda.

After my conversion to the Republican party, i.e. I started working and wondered who the heck this FICA guy was, I became more motivated than ever. Funny, but my grandparents decided that Clinton was too much for them, and both had registered Republican when they passed on.

So imagine my delight when I heard Zell Miller...it was like something from another planet. And reading these articles TOTALLY reminds me of playing cards and talking politics with my grandpa, who is now in heaven CHEERING that I've seen the light.

But enough vanity...

I grew up a Reagan Republican, just four years older. I was the youngest young republican in Smith County, Texas when Ronald Reagan ran for re-election in '84. He and Miller were cut from the same cloth as the nice old preacher in the country church who'd stand up on Sunday Mornings and tell it like it is- and how it can be. These are men who stopped the world long enough to find that absolute Truth and then, unabashedly let it guide them.
