“Thank you for an erudite and well reasoned response. Funny thing is at one time I was raging leftie and my family used to tell me to cool it. Now it’s come full-circle and I’m telling them to cool it and get with the program, to see what it is they put back in office and that the country is collapsing around us. I’m heart broken, for what is happening to America and to my family. In all my years I’ve imagined things as they are now. God help us.”

I should very much like to learn about what you thought when you were a raging leftie and why & how you changed.

I’m always fascinated to hear theses story’s because they normally come from people who value reasoning but they sometimes also come due to emotional conflicts which have forced them to confront the inherit evil in leftism.

In many case I learn things from their experience that helps me improve my strategy.

I didn't have any real political sense until some thirty years ago I met a woman who was a few years older than me and had been a sixties radical and it was from her I learned about ;the power structure'' and ''question authority'' and a whole bunch of other crap that made me feel like the smartest person in the room. It also gave me a liberating feeling railing against my parents values and almost hating my own country. I saw America as alternately good and alternately an evil place too. I didn't have to think much, not critically anyway, liberals and lefties don't think critically, with them it's all emotion which is why you can never have a rational debate with any of them. Once you get past their talking points, breaching the wall '' if you will, they have nothing to argue with and that's when the ad hominms come out and they try and shut down the debate. They all do this, every last one of them because that's what I used to do.There's an old saying "a liberal is a person too broad-minded to take their own side in an argument''I couldn't have articulated a viewpoint back then on any thing I believed in and no liberal can today. It's amazing how truly stupid liberals are and yet we suffer their nonsense in the media, the popular culture, in education, lording themselves and their poison over us and we never really call them to account. Liberals and lefties trade on the fact conservatives are decent , reasonable people who wouldn't resort to the agitprop and violence they do.They use our values against and I've told conservatives time and again to take the gloves off, forget about being nice and start fighting back. What changed me? Well the short answer is I sobered up. I was an alcoholic and when I finally sobered up and began listening to Hannity driving home from work I began to realize just how wrong-headed I had been. Liberalism is a lot like substance abuse. It's emotion over intellect just as when you're sober and rational it's intellect over emotion.

There is a solution for such people: is called a vasectomy. LIVs are a blight on society.
