at school I always loved History and geography, still do especially History which I never stop learning about
It does seem that those who know these subjects tend to be more conservative.
Now I have lived in many countries and have settled here in this great country, I love history and I think because we know history we tend not to want to see it repeated in many cases,
Now the liberals seem to not have a clue about history they prefer art and crafts instead.
They try to rewrite history to suit their arts and crafts world .
They like their little world where there is no violence, tyrants etc so for the future they turn a blind eye to it as they do not seem to understand that ignorance leads to more problems down the road.
Hope you see what I am getting at
LOL Then I am certain there are no repressed liberal tendencies residing within me, I can barely draw a stick man not to mention my clay figurines for Art class... hideous things, of course nowadays that is considered a modern art masterpiece.
I believe I see what you are saying. Liberal(Socialist) ideology does not favor pragmatic, realistic approaches, and will always fail because they cannot grasp human nature. If History can truly teach one about anything it is that Humans will always be the same today as they were Thousands of years ago. No amount of Indoctrination can change them into socialist slaves, instead we need a system which can best utilize Humanity's basic tendencies to societal advantage.
At least to me, Liberals seem as though they will be the first to change Human nature at its very core, to brainwash them to be virtuous, honest and hard working socialists. It has never worked unless the person in question wills the change and not merely a nod of approval.
I guess I wouldn't want to spoil their Utopian fantasies of a bloodless Soviet Union and kindly Uncle Joe, that's akin to telling them there is no Santa Claus.
Thank you for the reply, always good to talk to a sane conservative individual after being around tingly legged liberals all day.
