Dear Right-Wingers,
As many people here know I used to hold many of the same ideas that you do. Yes, I was a right-winger. I was a right-winger because I believed in the concept of a small government, I believed in an economic system in which everyone who worked hard would be able to achieve the American dream, and I believed that government regulation was preventing our nation from achieving everything we hoped to achieve.
Your people told me again and again that the liberals were out to take away my freedom. They told me that these evil liberals were going to drastically increase the size of government, they were going to tax me to death, and they were going to bankrupt this nation in the process.
I had bought into what your people were saying until I learned that your people were lying to me. They did not just lie once or twice, they lied over and over again.
They lied about every single issue under the sun, they not only lied but they sat back and counted their money while people were falling into poverty and often dying. They told us we didn't need to worry about covering everyone with health insurance because if we just cut people's taxes then they could afford to pay for health care and they could contribute to a charity which would help those who could not afford it. But of course as soon as they cut the taxes and cut the social programs the cost of health care would rise, and it would become more and more difficult for people to pay for. But of course the Republican pundits and propagandists who were telling me that we could cover everyone through charity did not have a problem paying for health care because they were all very wealthy. And you know what, despite their promotion of charity they were doing very little to practice what they preached and actually give up a sizable chunk of their disposable income to charity. No, they would only give what they could get a tax write-off for they had no concern about ensuring that people in poverty had access to good medicine they just wanted their tax write-offs and their yachts.
They also told me that I did not have to worry about global warming because there were serious doubts about the reality of global warming within the scientific community. I grew up loving nature, as a child my parents would always take me hiking in our beautiful state parks and they taught me to appreciate nature. I cared a lot about the environment, but your people convinced me that this global warming stuff was just a bunch of nonsense that I did not have to worry about. They told me science backed them up, and I believed them. But it turned out that they were lying about that too. It turned out that all the scientists they told me about were funded by the oil and coal interests. In other words they were taking bribes. None of them had been peer reviewed, they were just taking money and saying what the people bribing them wanted them to say.
I could go on and on about all the lies I was told over and over again, but I would be up all night writing this letter if I were to do that. So I will just make it simple and say the straight up truth that they lied to me on every single issue out there.
I don't associate myself with liars. I started to do a lot of research on a lot of different issues, and I realized that on every issue that progressive position was supported by the facts while the right-wing position was only supported by lies. And so I became a leftist, not a centrist but a leftist. I was not going to move from a lie to the truth gradually, because there is no reason to fall anywhere in the center between good and evil. I had to join the side of peace, justice, equality, truth and freedom and I was not going to settle for anything in the middle of those ideals.
There are two types of right-wingers out there, there are the liars and there are those who bought into the lies. If you are one of those who bought into the lies then go seek out the truth and leave the liars behind.
But if you are one of the liars, then you need to know that you almost had me but I figured you out. I figured out and I am going to dedicate my life to exposing who you are. I am not even thirty years old yet, I've got many years ahead of me and I am going to use those years to make sure that your days of influence come to an end. I will not be happy with the Republican Party being merely the minority party, instead I will not stop until the Republicans have only as much influence as the modern day Whig Party.
You people created me, if you had not lied to me over and over again I may have never really taken the time to learn about the issues. If you hadn't lied to me I would probably be sitting around playing video-games right now, but instead I am taking to my time to call you people out. I have figured out how to use the internet to reach thousands of people from the comfort of my own home, and I am going to use that power to make sure people know just who you are. You right-wingers turned me into leftist, I will do everything I can to make sure you see just how your lies changed me.
Sincerely,
A person who does not like to be lied to
