Come on, Chad, quit feeding the troll!
BTW, I wonder how many people here on Free Republic were more liberal when they were younger and more foolish. I certainly was not as conservative as I am now!
NOBODY is born a conservative. My wife swears she always was but I know it is because she was just born mean.
I agree with you about this...when I was young, I was much more liberal, as was husband...my son looks at us both, and says, "I know you both were hippies, I just know it"...
MY parents were democrats, an just loved Jimmy Carter. I had an uncle who defected to Cuba, and used to send us all kinds of socialist crap. Then along came Reagan, and I became a Reaganite in my early teens...
If Reagan hadn't come along back then, I probably would have been a liberal for a bit there... I guess I just got lucky ;0)
