Politcal Conversion

It is a fact that most political conversions are from Left to Right. The traffick is pretty much one way. Why is this? Because as people mature and gain some experience of reality (which those in their juvenescence are largely ignorant of), they become more grounded,more rational,logical,dispassionate,objective - Conservative! (Big or little c).

But what can be said of those over say 30 or 40 who are still liberal? Oh sad and stunted people of arrested intellectual and moral development! Clinging to exploded theories and liberal shiboleths, childishly chanting mantras slogans and nursery rhymes 'Bush the war monger', faces distorted with hatred and malice,lost in a twilight world of drug induced paranoia and self loathing.

I cling to the belief that most people on political internet forums are in their 20's, brainwashed by socialist educational system and probably not of this nation. (If I thought they were a microcosm of the English people I would lose the will to live.)
