How about the communistic and extreme lefts in college academia brainwashing and bleaching the brains of the students? Is that the parents fault too?

If their parents haven't instilled in them critical thinking skills, then absolutely!

I actually became more conservative in college.

Sure you did, it’s because academia is so conservative! Makes perfect sense.

I was flipping channels one night on our ancient TV in the basement when I was in middle school and came across this guy with a weird accent. It was Buckley on “Firing Line”. I was addicted!!!! Learned a lot.

Between Buckley and my Grandfathers stories of being a teenager and a peasant farmer in Russia going through the Bolshevik revolution, the horrors of communism, and how corrupt unions had become in he U.S. (This was in the 60’s) I don’t think I was never not a conservative.

Churchill would say I had no heart. Maybe I just lucked out got my brain early!
