Hi, I'm Nick and I am from Illinois. I'm writing on this page because I have been brought up to be very liberal on every issue dominating the upcoming presidential election. I feel like I kind of been brain washed into thinking this way and have this image of every right-winged supporter to be a redneck, gun crazy racist. Now I know that this is sure as hell not the truth, but the real truth for me is that I really do find it hard to agree with a lot of Republican ideals especially when dealing with illegal immigration and abortion. What I'm asking is for somebody to give me some things that you feel are very positive contributions the GOP makes for our govt. I hate the idea that I'm prejidice against right-winged ideals but I would like to have some direct input from somebody who is conservative and why they choose to be.

Or the other option is just to tear me apart for being a northern liberal...either one i guess is gonna happen haha

Illinois is full of liberals. Especialy in Cook County. It’s a disease.

The fact that you think being pro-gun-rights is a pejorative is quite telling.

Redneck and racist is just liberal projection.

The answer is obvious. It’s not up to us to educate you.

We pay our taxes.

It may be more profitable for you to examine the beliefs you hold, critically, instead of emotionally. Conservatives "think;" liberals "feel."

Why do you choose to be wrong on the issues?

I'm no racist, but am a gun crazy red neck. That is, I believe in freedom and the constitutional rights that many have fought and died for.

why are “contributions for ‘our government’” automatically considered to be a “good thing”.

If there were one book that I would say would be a “cure for liberalism” it would be Sowell’s Basic Economics book.

I used to be a former five-alarm flaming lib. But I've been a conservative for about ten years now, though looking back I can see that the seeds to my conversion were sown long before. FWIW, I found my way by asking questions. Instead of asking folks for answers, why don't you find your own? :)

And as for the GOP, up theirs. I'm not a Pubbie. I'm a conservative.

The Clintons were the reason any former youthful liberal leanings were rooted out of my system.
