I understand the liberal mindset, because I was one when young.

It is a form of self-righteousness and arrogance, combined with ego.

Once you begin to realize you do not have a monopoly on truth and lack wisdom, nor are we the center of the earth, the scales will fall from your eyes. This sort of humility is also why God-fearing Christians are natural conservatives.

I was a liberal when young too... Liberals can justify anything based on their 'superiority' - they're the most hateful dangerous group on the planet.

Wow! Did you ever nail it.

In a former life, one of my favorite co-workers was a conservative gentleman who happend to be black. He was far less tolerant and the prevailing liberal attitudes than was I. Once, in a quiet moment, I asked him why. His answer floored me-- "Probably because I've seen more of the damage that their policies have wrought up close and personal than you have."

I was a leftist in the 60’s and believed our government and big business were evil.

Seems only I have changed.

Yes, I am lifelong conservative, formerly in ministry, but I am supposed to think that means I had no heart at 20.
