But...at What Cost: A Skeptic's Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781478736738)

What kind of woman joins the Tea Party? In her memoir, Judy describes the people and events she feels most influenced the woman she is today - a Tea Party activist. From playing street games in Newburgh, New York in the forties, to marrying "up" in a shotgun wedding, owning a business, raising a family, and tutoring English as a second language, she details how her exposures provoked her political evolution from Liberal Democrat to Conservative Constitutionalist. Always a student of human nature, Judy has written a personal story focusing on the generational changes in American cultural beliefs that threatened her marriage and continue to threaten traditional American values. That's who joins the Tea Party - people who notice increased social dysfunction and feel compelled to try to do something about it. Based primarily on her experiences with minorities before, during, and after the Civil Rights movement of the sixties, Judy concludes that the progressive policies of the political Left have created and maintained the poverty and dysfunction now present in our black ghettos. "I was there," she states. "I watched it happen."
