89. What is a conservative?
He/she is someone who tends to be anti-social (hence the antipathy for anything that might be labeled "socialism") and doesn't like/trust his peers (i.e., would rather live in a predesigned society than the one that is continuously redisigned by the people around him).

So it makes complete sense that conservatives displayed anti-social tendencies as children.

The real question is, is this cause or effect? Do little conservatives act like obnoxious brats as children because they are conservative, or does this anti-social behavior, if left uncorrected, blossom into conservatism?

Liberal indoctrination in Universities might be a paranoid right-wing fantasy, but perhaps liberal indoctrination in pre-school (by teaching kids to play nice with others) could be a reality...


Hmmmmmm.....
