Is a Conservative basically a Liberal going through a Mid-Life Crisis?

I once heard a quote that said: " If you are a Liberal, and 10 years have gone by and not a single idea has changed, you have became a Conservative"

A modern conservative is a liberal that decided that thinking is too much trouble.

Conservatives just set it on cruise control and let Limbaugh do their thinking for them.

Earlier I thought of Winston Churchill's famous quote: "If by age 20 you're not a liberal, you have no heart. If by age 40 you're not a conservative, you have no head."

I sort of took exception to that!

The answer is NO. Mid-Life Crisis is only a passing event in
the life of a woman, being a Conservative is usually a life-long

choice of being right and loving truth.

Born Conservative, and I will die Conservative...

Took me a few elections but I certainly grew up.

So you have no head.

So what?

You fit in well with the Liberal Tribe.

A conservative is an older liberal who awoke one morning and realized how much of his money was being wasted on nonsense by the government. After you get a job, you will have a similar epiphany. The government gets 35% of my check, and they still can't get the lines painted on the road, or get the schools to work, even though they keep building new ones.....

No, a Conservative is a liberal who has grown up. This transformation usually starts after one leaves his parents, gets his first job and pays taxes. The transformation usually is complete after the first child.

Some leave their parents late or stay in school too long. These are the professors who still wear thew earth shoes and are influenced by http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html

Others never finished school and are flipping burgers and waiting for another rise in the min wage.

Hey , I know, I was a liberal in college then I learned that being stupid does not pay the bills.
