    You're a fcking moron. People don't move left as they mature. Where do you get that dumb idea? I'd say the opposite. Young people are naive and think liberalism about compassion, but eventually they realize it's about oppression.

    I'll give you that people who are more educated tend to be more liberal, but I don't believe the education itself does that. It's exposure to more leftist indoctrination in schools. Also, conservatives may be less willing to seek more education because of the hostility they face in these socialist institutions that are isolated from how the real world works.
    Ape lives matter. Stop putting them in zoos. Boycott businesses that don't hire apes.

    Then answered all the Jews, and said, Jesus' blood be on us, and on our children. So be it.
    Jews want to turn America into an atheistic, amoral, socialist farmyard.

    Man, I usually elicit howls of pout-rage from teabaggers if I dare mention that the Republican party worships ignorance and stupidity. And I base that on the fact that the conservative base's three most admired and worshipped politicians in the last generation are George Dumbya Bush, Sarah Palin, and Donald Trumpf.

    I appreciate that life long conservative George Will has my back on this - the GOP is the Dumb Party.

    So first it was "grade school," now it's "kindergarten"? Moving the goal posts much? There is nothing wrong with discussing family groups and how they may vary; it's not necessary to get into details. It's quite possible that in an average grade school there is going to be at least one, if not more, families composed of two dads + kids or two moms + kids. We don't tell grade schoolers what mommy and daddy do with each other in bed; why would we tell them what other ppl do?

    But yeah, being educated does make people more liberal too. Conservatives tend to be uneducated and have a lower IQ.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    How ironic, given that the (R)s are the party of fear-mongering and xenophobia, and try to craft policy and law based on those negative attributes. And then there's the whole abortion debate and the recent spate of "heartbeat bills," based solely on feels and religion and the desire to curtail American citizens' freedom and privacy because of their feels.

    Doesn't seem like your party is any better in that regard than the other one.

    Not every conservative is a republican, and not all republicans support the religious state. Though the abortion debate you speak of seems to ignore that brain function begins long before birth, and I personally think that it should be measured the same at both sides of the life... Life begins when thought begins, and ends when thought ends.

    This post though is just another assumption, and one of the simplest ways to try to train your mind away from reality and fit your thought within the simpler boundaries of propaganda. When people try to fit others within these boundaries is usually when they go awry. The color of the jersey doesn't necessarily control the thought of the personality.

    You might want to inform some of your more disturbed fellow (R)s here that the same is true of those of us on the other side of the political rainbow. It seems that there are very few true conservatives left any more in the (R) party. They were labeled traitors and RINOs and kicked to the curb for not worshiping the shiny new emperor and his shiny new clothes.

    Both political parties prey on fear -- but yours does most of all. Fear of other, fear of the future, fear of difference, fear of losing power, fear fear fear. When I was an 7-yo girl, crouching under her classroom desk during yet another nuclear attack drill, I decided that I was going to stop being afraid of the stupid adults who kept telling us that Russia was going to bomb us into atoms. I just knew that over there was some 7-yo Russian girl fearing that WE were going to bomb HER into atoms. I've never wavered from being extremely skeptical when stupid "adults" are telling me to fear this thing and that thing. (D)s do it too, only not as bad as you guys.

    Wouldn't it be great if we'd just stop listening to the stupid adults and decide for ourselves where the truth is, and who/what/when to be worried?
