People are suspicious because of past troll coming in here. So, please don’t take it personally. It seems like whenever something big happens in China, there are people relatively new on here touting the Chinese line.
Welcome to FR. Just out of curiousity, what led you to Reagan conservatism. Were you a Democrat first?
“Just out of curiousity, what led you to Reagan conservatism. Were you a Democrat first?”
When I was young, I tended to vote Dem. When Reagan first ran, I was still voting Dem., but feeling a bit guilty about it, especially because of the Iran hostage crisis and the weak ineffectual way Carter played with it. In a nutshell, Reagan won me over, mainly due to foreign policy. But I also was listening to a fellow on the radio back then, a guy named Mark Scott in Detroit. Couldn’t stand him at first, but gradually he persuaded me to read more Ayn Rand. That was the turning point. I’ve never voted for or trusted a Dem. since then.
