She was used.
« on: May 28, 2009, 03:40:28 PM »
It was during the long years in prison, she said, that "gradually I began to realize that I had let myself be used. ... I definitely think that it was wrong. I think I was misled. I think I was mistaken. I think I made a serious error."

Didn't take her but 32 years in prison to figure that out.

Moore, who had been loosely associated with leftist groups in California, said she "wasn't prepared" for the things she learned about the extent of poverty and other problems.

Public education was bad even way back then.

"It was a time that people don't remember. You know, we had a war ... the Vietnam War, you became — I became — immersed in it," Moore said Thursday.

Hippies spaced out on drugs.

"We were saying the country needed to change. The only way it was going to change was a violent revolution. I genuinely thought that (shooting Ford) might trigger that new revolution in this country."

Lucky she didn't meet up with Bill Ayers.

She said she now knows she was hearing only one side of the story. "We thought San Francisco was the world, and it wasn't."

They still think San Francisco is the world.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I saw a part of her interview this morning....from the part I saw, it made me think she didn't learn much in jail and should maybe still be there!  ::)

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

This is sort of the impression I get from people who join the far, leftist groups. (By far leftist, I do not mean the Democrat Party of Amnesty International). They come off as middle class people who didn't know much about real life before coming on campus. I know I have the middle class part right, and I think the same was probably true way back when, but I can't prove that. If you live in a reall small town where you don't typically see the homeless, it can come as a shock to be driving to the university and find a homeless guy begging.

Oh, I dunno.

The Bible speaks of soul-crushing poverty quite a bit.

According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."
