Maybe There IS Hope For Liberals.

Did you know that several modern champions of Conservatism were
formal Liberals? Thankfully, they were enlightened. They woke up. They got a
taste of the truth and it liberated them from their liberalist shackles. 
Liberals - this shows there IS hope for you. You CAN follow a
different course.

Ronald Regan - "I spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently saw
fit to follow another course....Somehwere, a perversion has taken
place. Our natural, unalienable rights are now considered to be a
dispensation of governent and freedom has never been so fragile, so
close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.....In this
present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem.
Government IS the problem."

Thomas Sowell - An American economist, social theorist, political
philosopher, and author. National Humanities Medal recipient. Sowell
has stated that he was a Marxist “during the decade of my 20s." After
opening his eyes, Sowell has become a conservative and even compared
President Barack Obama's actions to Adolf Hitler's in a June 2010
editorial for Investor's Business Daily titled "Is U.S. Now On
Slippery Slope To Tyranny?"  Sowell: “Liberalism is totalitarianism
with a human face.”

Milton Friedman - an American economist, statistician, and author.He
was a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
Sought a revival of interest in classical liberalism in the early
20th century. “If you put the federal government in charge of the
Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand.”

David Horowitz - Between 1956 and 1975, Horowitz was an outspoken
adherent of the New Left before rejecting Leftism completely. He was
raised by parents who were members of the Communist Party USA.  Upon
becoming a staunch Conservative, he states: "For myself, my family
tradition of socialist dreams is over. Socialism is no longer a dream
of a revolutionary future. It is only a nightmare of the past. But
for you, the nightmare is not a dream. It is a reality that is still
happening." "What the left says sounds very good but, in practice, it
works out very badly."    "It is time for Americans who love this
country to stand up in her defense."

David Mamet - Former Liberal, now a Pulitzer Prize winner. What
prompted Mamet's switch to conservatism? "And the more I looked, the
more I saw that the culture was being dismantled in the service of
good ideas and that we had seen such behavior before and great
success among the Nazis and among the communists.”  From the cover of
his book, "The struggle of the Left to rationalize its positions is
an intolerable Sisyphean burden. I speak as a reformed Liberal."

Andrew Breitbart - On being a formal liberal turned conservative: "At
the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep
very well at night."  While in Louisiana, still a Democratic Liberal,
Breitbart had less a change of heart than a rather visceral change of
mind. Exposed to high crime and poverty levels in New Orleans,
Breitbart soon began to express disgust with the Great Society trash
can.
