Most true conversion stories are from left to right because occasionally people grow up.
I have had several dear friends over the years that I knew were die-hard “liberals”.
I loved them dearly.
Every single one, upon “discovering” that I was conservative, freaked out and immediately ended years-long friendships because of that.
Somehow, in the space of a few seconds, the person “they loved” [me] had transformed into some kind of horrible, dangerous, monstrous maniac.
[words like “fascist” and “Nazi” were not uncommon]
Now, I ask you.
Since I knew their political leanings and loved them still, which of us was truly the “liberal”?
Some wise sage once said “If you are young and not a liberal, then you have no heart. If you are old and not a conservative, then you have no brain.”
