Quote from Tsing Tao:
LOL! That certainly WAS a total crock of shit.
People start out liberal because they have nothing and want what others have. Then, after they work hard and make their way in the world, they realize it was unfair to take what others had worked for, and turn conservative.

Am I the only one who thinks Ron smokes alot of dope and then just types the first thing that pops into his brain...(it also explains why the guy contradicts himself every other day).

Quote from RCG Trader:
Conservatism by definition seeks to arrest change, and thereby competition. For those talented enuf to see thru this fatal flaw, they become liberal again.
Quote from RCG Trader:
I met a woman back in 1992 who told me, you are a liberal now, but you have drive, you will become a conservative. I gave her some dribble about poor people and the underprivileged, etc. Now, I realize that there is a certain group of people who will kill the golden goose.
Quote from RCG Trader:
This is the thing, a mentor of mine once said youth starts out liberal, then during the struggle make one's way, they find conservatism. Conservatism by definition seeks to arrest change, and thereby competition. It does not matter if it is competition over ideas, or actual resources, conservatism seeks to arrest that. When people are trying to make their way, they do not want competition, for obvious reasons. For those talented enuf to see thru this fatal flaw, they become liberal again.
Conservatism by it's very definition is based upon fear of loss. Since change might mean loss, they fear that also.
Quote from L-Kabong:
Further to the fear of loss notion, the conservatives, republicans, and libertarians posting here just suffered what is obviously a devastating loss to them. Now they are certain doomsday is upon us in the future. They hurl insults and spout racism. They seem terrible, but maybe they are just scared little men crying out in the electronic ether seeking a moment of asylum. I suppose they are scarred by the small indignities encountered in their pedestrian lives and need to find a like minded community, a raft in the turbulent sea.
