A friend of mine, who happens to be black, used to be a die hard liberal because that was all he knew.
He listened to Rush and Levin for entertainment purposes. What finally made him a conservative was an episode that happened during the 2002 primaries. He walked into the voting precinct for the primary elections and the well meaning grey haired octogenarian lady working that day handed him a ballot for the Democratic primary.

Libs don’t give a crap about anything except their own power and control.
