it is pretty ironic that the thing that pushed me most towards conservatism was that my liberal indoctrination as a child included:
1. The principles of science. And disdain towards blind faith & religion (liberalism is a religion: http://soviet-overlords.joeuser.com/article/369367/Liberalism_is_a_religion )
2. The notion that good people (liberals) are open minded, and evil people (conservatives) are closed minded and bigoted.
Lo and behold, actually listening to conservatives and liberals with an open mind and understanding the principles behind each movements before passing judgement shows who the real bigots are, and shows who is right and who is talking out of their nether regions (the left)
If only liberals have never indoctrinated me into having an open mind, the virtues of science and atheism, and the hate of bigots, I would probably have never been able to break free from their brainwashing.
