As a "ba'al teshuva," someone who later in life embraced Orthodox Judaism, I can understand where this woman's past and current mindset. And she does not at all contradict herself -- or claim moral superiority, like many liberals.

I grew up in a crazy secular home & did crazy things in my younger days -- not too sinful or self-destructive, but crazy nevertheless. Judaism not only put the fear of God in me, but the sense of reality. (Both are the same.) Also, I grew to recognize, and appreciate, the Judeo-Christian foundation of this nation.

People who accuse this woman of hypocrisy refuse to see the whole picture. Ironically, an ex-convict -- someone with a jail record who is trying to re-enter society & lead a moral, responsible life -- would be accorded more respect by liberals than she.

A conservative is often defined as a liberal who was mugged. Some people learn from their mistakes & move on. A confirmed liberal doesn't.

Sorry -- "understand this woman's past & current mindset." (Don't write well when rushed.)

Anyway, Jim, you took all of words right of my mouth.

That she could have done like Joyce Lewis-Kugle yet chose not to makes me suspect her motives are really about either keeping the government paycheck, attention-seeking, or a combination of both.

The State's position is Satanic. Why would a genuinely devout person continue to serve such a master when its true nature is so nakedly revealed? Unless it's the paycheck that is the real bottom line.
