“I have a “love/hate” relationship re David Horowitz.”
But he’s kind of a political Saul to Paul, leaving his old identity behind.
I find David way better and more genuine than the neocons, a group that he really wasn’t part of.
You have the scions of Podhoretz and Kristol pegged.
Saul to Paul - I love it! I haven’t seen you around lately, Pelham. Where have you been?
As far as Horowitz is concerned, I am just old enough to have known about him and what he did, said, and wrote, in REAL TIME. I was, and still am, a RABID anti-Commie and a CONSERVATIVE, back then, saw and heard, with my own eyes and ears, what was going on in the late '60s/early '70s, in NYC. It's truly SEARED in my brain and soul and hell yes, I can tell you the year/s, where I was, what I was wearing, and who I was with, if I was with anyone, and what I said to others and what they said to me...WORD FOR WORD, still.
It's really not easy to get over the above and/or forgive those responsible for it and what was built upon it all, which is how we got to where we are today.
OTOH...okay, it was a sort of Saul to Paul thing, except NOT through a visitation from GOD nor Jesus.
