Researching family history, she found "that they were Christian. And I mean very, very Christian. This was unnerving since on the intellectual left, faith in God, and particularly Christ, signifies a weak mind."
But they far from weak-minded. They built towns, churches, and infrastructures from the time they arrived in 1630; two held important positions in the revolutionary army; one was a member of the Continental Congress; they participated in the Great Awakenings; they were officers on the Underground Railroad for decades; they advocated for Indians.
"The entire clan’s Christianity was hard-wired and their charity never-ending." No evidence existed that the great-great-grandmother was oppressed. She lived as she wanted.
Elizabeth came to some conclusions after this family research and some other factors. The contemporary leftist story tellers she knew "had utterly corrupted our idea of our country and culture, religion and past." They teach that the whole West system is built on exploitation and oppression and must be replaced by command and control socialism.
She has left the left.
