TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pat and Dave Brown arent haters. We dont hate people. What we hate are destructive ideas and the danger these ideas pose to our country. We love people of all colors, all cultures, all religions, and all lifestyles, but we object to the parts of any culture, religion, or lifestyle that harms other people, especially children. We are conservatives, and yes, we have supported President Trump because we have found him to be a president who is willing to work with both sides of the aisle and compromise where it is necessary to keep our country from crashing and burning. We dont think all Democrats are bad or all Republicans good, and we arent in favor of a one-party system. We want good representatives from both parties to work together to preserve and improve a country that was built on the most brilliant document ever written: the Constitution. We want life, liberty, and happiness for all our citizens, not just ourselves and the people we are buddies with. But we a see a frightening swing to the far left with a level of bizarre behaviors and thinking that seem to be going mainstream. We think conservatives, especially those toward the middleheck, even liberals toward the middleneed to start addressing the problem of what is happening to our country. We need to be woke toojust not the kind of woke the Left wants us to be.

Yeah, we have onejust not one that starts with a K, although people of the Left tend to like to throw that word around and connect it with any white person (or even black person) who doesnt agree with them. Our clan is a jumble of races and cultures. Pat Browns father Harry, Daves grandfather, was one of the last Jews to escape Germany before no more could emigrate. A teen when he came to America, he lived with his parents and brother in New York City where he learned perfect English and spoke it without an accent. He eventually became a citizen, joined the Navy, and became an electronic engineer. After a decade of working in New York laboratories and living across the bridge in northern New Jersey, he moved the family to McLean, Virginia, and spent the remainder of his career working for the assistant secretary of the Navy at the Pentagon and for NASA. He worked on a lot of secret stuff, but he never divulged anything about the work to his family. He never discussed religion or politics.

Pats mother Shirley, Daves grandmother, grew up an only child of New England Presbyterians, daughter of a paper mill worker and a housewife. In the summers, they lived on a houseboat where each morning, Stanley took the motorboat to work, leaving his wife, Doris, and daughter, Shirley, alone on the boat until evening. It was in these lonely hours that Shirley became an artist, eventually selling thousands of watercolors depicting the landscapes of her youth. After a wild year of traveling as a performer with the Ice Capades, Shirley married Harry and settled down to paint and be a stay-at-home mother (as was expected in the 1950s). Pat was one of three children, all girls, the baby of the family.

On the Brown side of Daves familytheir names are not going to be mentioned here due to the present day doxxing problem and the fact that they may not approve of everything written in this book or particularly approve of Dave and Pats political opinionstheir story begins in the parish of Clarendon, just northwest of Kingston in Jamaica. Actually, one of his great-grandmothers was born in Cuba, but both his fathers parents were born and raised in Jamaica.

It was a hard life, working the land as farmers and raising six children, of which Davids father was the eldest. Wishing a better life for their children, Daves grandfather came to the US and worked as a farm laborer. Then his grandmother followed and became a caretaker for families in DC. Both were legal immigrants.

Daves father arrived here in the US at the age of fifteen. He graduated high school in Washington, DC, and joined his father working in the mailroom of National Geographic while his mother worked in the janitorial services at a local hospital. He became a citizen and, at the age of nineteen, met and married Pat Brown. They were married for twenty-five years. Dave has one biracial sister and an adopted black brother. He grew up in Berwyn Heights, Maryland, a predominately white blue collar town during his childhood. He got along just fine there, as did his brother and sister.

Now, Pat lives in Bowie, Maryland, one of the wealthiest black communities in the US, near the other two kids and Dave lives on Marylands Eastern shore. They have aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandkids, and in-laws of all colors, and no one cares in the family. We are just family.

The family is also a jumble of professions. Pat Brown is a criminal profiler, TV commentator, and author. Daves dad is a service engineer. Dave is a small business owner. Their relatives are white, brown, and black, college-educated and high school-was-enough-educated. They work in education, law, public service, hospitality, finance, music, and construction. They are not all in agreement on political matters or who they voted for or will vote for in the next election. Their friends come in all colors, practice different religions, have different sexual orientations, and are from different countries. Pat and Dave are poster people for the Democratic Party! Except they are conservatives. Once upon a time, the Democratic Party had positions that they were not totally opposed to and when they had reasonable stances on certain issues, they might even vote for a particular local Democratic candidate. But because of the dangerous direction that the Democratic Party has gone, Pat and Dave now find little common ground with their current platform. This book will show why this is happening and why more people leaning left should start veering right.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

A few years before Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed. The Act was the crowning achievement of a brutal civil rights war and the shining example of Dr. Kings dramatic and heartfelt cry to the crowds on the Mall in Washington, DC, in 1963, when he proclaimed:

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
