(811 posts)and if I hadn't learned anything, would I be posting NOW that I was wrong - that my behavior was wrong?
I am trying to teach future generations NOT to do what I have done. Despite peer pressure and other mitigating factors. I am admitting that I succumbed to those mitigating factors, and that I was wrong in doing so.
True Leftists would accept me for admitting that I was wrong, and would accept my message as a warning for all. I can understand that former victims would be accepting. But for those who claim to be part of the "big tent" to apply a purity test and reject such converts as my self is - ridiculous.
I was wrong. I changed. Am I not accepted because I once was wrong? That goes against everything I have come to believe about Leftism and the Democratic Party. I thought that what ever i believed NOW was important, not what I believed in the past.
And yet YOU decided to hold my past against me.
