I will assume that this vanity post asking for an explanation was made sincerely.

I was raised by a family of New-Deal democrats and as the Democratic Party became more “liberal” ans socialistic, I became more conservative.

In my life time I’ve seen the damage an all-powerful government can do.
I’ve seen our school system go down the toilet.
I’ve seen the family life and potential of a hard-working and family oriented people ruined through welfare programs.
I’ve seen the feelings of national pride and patriotism ridiculed.
Need I go on?

This country was predicated on the idea a people through individual freedom would prosper (and we did). The concept was misinterpreted by the Europeans (e.g., the French Revolution) which saw it simple as throwing off monarchs and a ruling class and replacing one form of autocratic rule by another.
We’ve always had venal and second-rate politician (it is the nature of all political systems), but as Tocqueville pointed out, it didn’t matter because there was so much personal freedom in America. It didn’t matter because there were strict limits on government.
The “liberal” sees some problem in society and wants to give the government the power to solve it. Usually, as a result, other problems are caused and the original problem grows worse, so the “liberal” wants to give the government more power to deal with it. Look at what has happened to our school system.

Am I a racist? I don’t think so. I was raised with black people. Some of whom I felt as close to as family. I find it difficult to associate with anyone who has a chip on their shoulder. Is this prejudice? In some cases, perhaps.

Am I a red neck? The term applies to rural folk who work (WORK) in the sun. It is a term that city people use for small-scale farmers and laborers, the people who made this country, pay taxes and want to be left alone. I don't work in the sun any more.

Am I a gun nut? Years ago I used a gun to prevent a home invasion by facing down four thugs. I was damned glad I had it. Our founding fathers thought gun-ownership important enough to list it second in the Bill of Rights. If you read what Madison, Jefferson, Monroe and all the anti-federalists had to say about it, you can not believe it is not a personal right. I guess I’m a gun nut.

can you provide me an example of how liberals messed up our school system? I havent had any information on it

Am I a racist?

But I am a bigot. I discriminate on a lot of behaviors.

I'm impressed. I've never had to use my piece for anything other than target practice.
