Reply #37: I was, and what changed? 9/11

[Kittycat]

That's when I woke up from the haze that was my youth. I grew up in a christian fundementalist household. Even though I was breaking away, I couldn't accept that the feelings I had that were in conflict with 'my party' - was really liberalism. When 9/11 happened, everything changed. I couldn't keep lying to myself, and I realized that something was very wrong. It still took a while to fully come around, but I had stopped supporting the party openly. In 2004 I cast my first full Dem Ballot, and haven't looked back since.
