I was being nurtured in conservative values (i.e. small government, dangers of the UN, etc) while Reagan was still a Democrat. I never rejected those values as I became an adult.
btw, ripping...........we weren't talking about Ford's conservatism (I never said he was). You said good riddance to the loser, and I objected. I was talking about his character and value as a human being..........things that apparently don't matter to you.
You changed the subject to get in your silly and false dig on my conservatism. Nice try, but no cigar.
And I still say, good riddance to Ford. Btw....since your hero Ford was such a "good man" in your eyes and you say that you were "talking about his character and value as a human being", so was I. Ford had no character...he went to a well known liberal journalist, went on record to berate our president's policies on the war on terror, and ask that his views not be pulicized until after his death. And THAT is what I was speaking of from the beginning. Apparently, Ford's last little liberal prank is certainly fine with you.
And you call yourself a conservative? You don't know the meaning. Certainly, you don't know the meaning of "character". Also, too bad Ford did not share your viewpoint of valuing human beings...since he was pro-abortion anytime, anywhere.
