A Former Radical Goes Back to the Future at the 9/12 March
Barbara,
Thank you for your wonderful article.
You and I share the “same experiences” but in a different way. I was not a protester, but I was at one time a card carrying member of the Democratic party and worked on local, state and national campaigns. Among the national campaigns I worked on were Carter ’76, Kennedy ’80 and Clinton ’92.
I had my “Road to Damascus moment” after the 2000 election when the scales fell off my eyes and I finally saw the malevolent powers that had taken over the party. It was no longer the Democratic party of JFK and Truman but was now the party of Stalin, Mao and Soros.
I see many of the commenters here wish to berate people like you and me for causing the damage we are seeing now. They are right in their assessment and anger but I would ask them to realize that we are trying to make amends for it. The ‘fire’ always burns the brightest in the sinner who has repented. What is more is that people like us make “mighty warriors” against the evil (and yes, I am going to use that term) powers that are arrayed against the people of this nation-for we know them for who and what they truly are, we know their tactics and will not be daunted by them.
