I wrote this rather heartfelt response, I didn't even need to compose a second draft:

I am ashamed to admit that was a raving liberal until December. However, as I am a young man of 22 years of age, I can forgive myself of this sin. Being in a household that watched MSNBC for six years, I'm sure you could understand, while also going through a very liberal college experience.
That being said, I've always had a suspicion that Libertarianism was ... somehow ... correct. I disregarded these feelings, as blamed myself for violating the doctrine of "political correctness." A term that is really known as "Cultural Marxism."
However, no matter how liberal I was brought up, in school, in the media, etc, I ALWAYS KNEW that the 2nd Amendment was to PROTECT YOU FROM TYRANNY, just like EVERY OTHER Amendment.
Now in school, they NEVER taught anything about the 2nd Amendment. However, since they taught us [dogmatically] how the other Amendments protect your from tyranny, I assumed naturally that the 2nd Amendment also did the same, and guns were simply something you didn't discuss in school.
So having been left to think for MYSELF about the 2nd Amendment since I was as young as 11 years old, I came to the right conclusion, since NO OUTSIDE LIBERAL FORCE brainwashed me otherwise.
After this November Election, I watched Obama's first priority in Office was to debar us the use of firearms. I watched the liberal media go into a killing frenzy, the 2nd Amendment its prey.
I watched my favorite anchor, Chris Mathews assault the 2nd Amendment with such vigor, that I was frightened of him, and then I realized, EVERYTHING the EDUCATED libertarians and conservative laws professors said are TRUE.
The PROGRESSIVES have been attacking our Constitution relentlessly since 1913. "The power to tax, is the power to destroy." This phrase comes from Justice Marshall in Mculloch vs Maryland.
The Progressives learned from this and passed the 16th Amendment, allowing the Federal Government to tax income, and set up the Federal Reserve, the control the distribution and flow of income. The Free Market system was destroyed. We had entered a well disguised period of CORRUPT Marxism ever since, the wealthy have become increasing wealthier, ad the poor have become increasingly poorer. The men at the top control everything, and when the go broke, they GET A BAILOUT. We we go broke, WE GET A FORECLOSURE and a forced to surrender our NATURAL RIGHT to PROPERTY.
In the same year, the progressives passed the 17th Amendment. Although it looks good on paper, it destroyed the only enshrined mechanism in our Constitution that allowed the States to have RECOURSE against the Federal Government.
The Campaign to Restore Federalism
I have learned that Democratic leaders, including many black leaders, PURPOSELY keep blacks IMPOVERISHED, so that they will be FOREVER enslaved and dependent upon the government. Efforts by HONORABLE black men, like Booker T Washington, and Martin Luther King have been CORRUPTED by top tier black leaders, who crave nothing but power, and keep their own people subjugated by impoverishment, so they shall remain their overseers for all eternity.
Granted, minorities REALLY DO NEED Affirmative Action, and I would be the first to defend it, but at the SAME TIME, we should be working to IMPROVE THEIR ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. We should afford them good school and teachers, truly crack down on the drugs crossing our border, to systematically halt the drug trade nationwide. We should provide them more after school programs, like our white children, better public transportation in their communities and start perhaps even some summer camps that teach and inspire these young minds how to become successful and independent, and teach and impress upon them the writings and philosophies of John Locke and other great thinkers, maybe such a summer camp could be in Washington DC. The goal to promote and train black leaders who will rescue their people such horrendous ghetto conditions, that will empower them to become independent of the government, they will truly free them from slavery.
Sir, I could write all day about this, the startling discoveries I've been making since this December, it hasn't even been three full months since, and my entire Progressive ideology has been overturned on its head.
I realize that these Progressives are masters, and mean to be masters, and nothing else.
Most evident is FDR's "Court Packing" Scheme. He used this to threaten the Supreme Court to rule in favor of letting Bureaucracies, the lynchpin of progressivism, to make their own rules, laws and regulations by which to govern the people, and to enforce them thus.
Thus, the Congress ceded its most important powers to the Bureaucracy, the ability to make laws. Sure, they still make meaningful laws from time to time, but the PEOPLE will wrongly blame Congress for many policies, that were actually the result of the Bureaucracy, and since the Bureaucracy is immune to Elections, even if the people were actually upset with some bureaucracy, they could not vote them out anyway. Nor can most bureaucrats be fired without intense legal challenge. Nor are most policies of the bureaucracy justiciable in the courts.
The Bureaucracy is the autonomous form of government that controls all of us today, in thanks to FDR, the 4-term Emperor who sought to overpower the Supreme Court and succeeded.
