You too, huh? I used to be a liberal. Welcome to the ‘’right’’ side.
Yup, actually, my journey into the light it started when I was around 14. One day while staying with my dear grandparents, we were watching a news report about the bombing of the old Gulf and Western bldg. near Columbus Circle,(just about anyone on the NYPD at the time, to this day, has very good reason to beleive that Ayers and Dhorn had a role in this) My grandfather exclaimed, “what’s wrong with these f***ing idiots? They say they want peace and they throw bombs all over the damn place and don’t give a sh!t if they hurt or kill anyone?!” One thing about grandpa, his language was “salty” at times and he and my gramdma had no formal education, but they had more common sense and wisdom than any PhD. As immature as I was at the time something about the whole anti-war/new left/hippy movement didn’t seem right. Also a combination of primarily my beloved parents’ values and an 11th grade history teacher who made Rush Limbaugh look like Michael “two dinners” Moore were also huge influences. One day it all came together and I had a “what the hell was I thinking” moment. Never looked back since.
