I, have always been reasonably the same. The Liberal bubble grew around me. I don't come from "old money". in fact I don't come from ANY money. So I am not some descendant of a well healed upper crust family. I came from a long line of Democrats. My Grandfather served in with FDR, my father campaigned for JFK, and mom even cooked dinner for Bobby Kennedy once. Today's Liberalism, has nothing to do with the former goals of the "Party of the Working Man". That's my roots. So pretty much since I reached the age of reason, and especially when I got my first job at 10, I began to solidify my beliefs, which are now considered "Conservative".
{Reading the transcript of Tuesday鈥檚 Republican debate on the economy is, for anyone who has actually been following economic events these past few years, like falling down a rabbit hole. Suddenly, you find yourself in a fantasy world where nothing looks or behaves the way it does in real life. And since economic policy has to deal with the world we live in, not the fantasy world of the G.O.P.鈥檚 imagination, the prospect that one of these people may well be our next president is, frankly, terrifying.
In the real world, recent events were a devastating refutation of the free-market orthodoxy that has ruled American politics these past three decades. Above all, the long crusade against financial regulation, the successful effort to unravel the prudential rules established after the Great Depression on the grounds that they were unnecessary, ended up demonstrating 鈥?at immense cost to the nation 鈥?that those rules were necessary, after all.} - Paul Krugman, PhD- Economics, Winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (1)At what age did the liberal bubble pop and you entered the real world?
1. When I realized that only people lucky enough to be hired by a good company should get health insurance at an affordable rate.
2. When I realized that real Americans and real men use oil, not hybrids!
3. When I realized that public schools are all dedicated to one purpose: teaching our kids socialism (socialist math, socialist Spanish, socialist English, socialist chemistry, etc.)
4. When I realized that no liberal or Democrat has ever served in the Armed Forces, unlike conservatives who love this country (e.g., Dick Cheney, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage)
5. When I learned that all of Europe is socialist and that everyone hates living there and that they have no freedom.
I have no idea. I was always taught to treat all people equally, you get what you pay for, and if you see something you consider wrong, fix it. The trouble with liberals is they can't pay for it. The trouble with conservatives is they're perceived as not wanting it. The trouble with those in Congress and the White House is they want to run it. Since when do the servants earn more than the employers? Public service is an honor, not a right.At what age did the liberal bubble pop and you entered the real world?
At a very young age, when I played youth hockey and pondered why games were won or lost, coming to the conclusion that a single line on a hockey team could make/break the whole effort. I realized that the world is made of winners and losers, and it shouldn't be the winner's job to carry the losers.
It depends on their level of brain washing. The more indoctrinated they are, the more cleansing they need. I have never been a liberal. Their was a time when I didn't care either way, but at that time I still pulled right due to family tradition. Now, I think for myself and follow Christ's path, which is a strait and narrow RIGHT path.
Fairly early in the Carter administration. It was so obvious from his blunders of what government wants and shouldn't have.
I went from apolitical to conservative. No liberal stains on my record.
I was actually more conservative when I was younger than I am now.
After college, when I entered the real world of employment
You mean the Victorian age you live in? We live in the modern world grandma
I will always be a liberal becauae I am not driven by greed like cons
Actually, I just changed the channel and stopped being a conservative.
I'm 62, not yet.
Doesn't mean the politicians do it the way I would, but the thought is there
At 18, when I enlisted in the Army.
19
After I worked and paid crazy high taxes for a few years, about 28-30 years old.
You are mentally unbalanced.
