I hope one day you can write about your thinking now about the meddling of the US government in promoting abortion in the US and around the world. You may have read the top recommended diary on social conservatives calling for civil disobedience.

There are doctors who are choosing to break any federal laws that coerce them to perform or assist in abortions, and are willing to endure the legal consequences similar to MLK in Birmingham, AL.

Discovering that you can relate to a person you had at one time despised may just be the first step on your remarkable journey.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

and I enjoy your diaries here. I am so glad that someone with your tremendous talent is using it in a positive way, and, not wasting it on a corrupt organization like ACORN. You have become a great role model for those that sometimes start down the wrong path, but, stop and back up, and take a better turn on the road. I hope you take your show on the road, and teach others that the road to a better way doesn’t always have to be as hard as it was for you.

Both you and Palin are the ones still standing, and, I suspect that will be the case for a long time.

Thank you for sharing your journey – I look forward to more of your writings.

the group of those of us who “The One” finally made realize that we had to take a stand. You have a great writing style.

But glad you’re at least joining us in stopping Obama befor it’s too late.

Awesome, awesome post, anitamoncrief. Glad to have you with us.

“I began to admire Palin’s strength in the face of attacks and her relentless quest to just be Sarah and expose hypocrisy and truth.”

I feel the same applies to you Anita.

Many thanks to you, Andrew, Hannah and James for your efforts to expose ACORN for the corrupt organization it really is.

More often than not, it is the “unrecognized efforts” that defines a patriot.

Just curious. Google Anita’s name to get some backstory. Anita has a lot of company under the bus Obama and the Left keeps throwing people under.

Your story illustrates what a crock the left is. It is THEY who are expected to act like robots – anyone who thinks for themselves is considered dangerous to the cause. Women and blacks in particular are supposed to accept as a given that only the left will help them, and that everyone on the right wants women pregnant and in the kitchen 24/7 and wants blacks back on plantations in chains.

be written by me with regards to your “awakening” I too was a big liberal brought up in a D household with union members the whole nine yards and the enlightening moment for me was September 11th because almost immediately the left ie: Soros etc were attempting to ensure there be no retribution for Afghanistan and it was like a lightening bolt hit me and I knew that Democrats were the APPEASERS that I had always heard they were.

I can remember in President Bush’s first 9 months agreeing with the media that OMG he is never in DC he is always at the western WH and like a switch being flipped after 9-11 I became MORE & MORE Conservative and have not stopped going to the RIGHT every since.

I know I have always had Conservative leanings with regards to life ie: GET UP GO TO WORK and make your way in the world because NO ONE is going to do it for you but the bigger change came with my love of America and my DISDAIN for those who do not LOVE her as I do! In my life I have been up and down but because of being a citizen of the United States of America I have ALWAYS had the opportunity to come BACK UP (the streets are paved with gold) and that is what I think makes one a Conservative against the hand outs (thieves) of the leftists. If you consistently get handouts you will NEVER do for yourself however if you are given a handup you will grab ahold and do the rest of the lifting to get your balance!

when Anita realized that life was better on the other side. Not better just becaues, but better because it was a SELF REALIZATION that made itself known to her. A personal awakening is the strongest motivator to push forward for success.
We here @ Redstate have opened the hatch in the floor of the bus and rescued Anita, and welcomed her aboard the bus that Obama and ACORN threw her under a long tine ago.
Others who shal reamin under the bus, Van Jones, Rev Wright, et al, will continue to stay their of their own volition and hatred of America and all that She stands for.
Anita, enjooy the bus ride. It’s going to be a bit bumpy with all the dead bodies underneath, but know that we will not let you off to join them.
Happy Thanksgiving from a VET

…who have had similar epiphanies within the last year?

This is one of the most encouraging posts I’ve read in a while. I hope it represents a trend.

I sincerely believe if people start thinking for themselves, rather than swallowing the line from the usual socialist suspects, we would become a more conservative nation overnight. Conservatism is, after all, just common sense mixed with a working knowledge of human nature…

I’ve heard similar stories to yours, all from intelligent women & men.

you are such an amazing woman and mentor. Thank you for all you do. You are a real patriot and hero.
