WHY I AM A CONSERVATIVE AND NOT A LIBERAL. we’re all born liberals, taking what we need from our parents without question or concern as to how they come by it.

The harsh reality that those who fail to mature refuse to face is simple fact: Those who foolishly leave their future to someone else to secure will have little or nothing to lose.
