No, I'm an old lady. 44, but, and I'm ashamed to admit this, because of our current political climate, and the constant accusations of being a racist and so on, I decided I needed to not just take what I knew to be true based on my public school education, but research the facts myself.
That's one difference between a liberal and a conservative. The liberals are told what to believe and who they are, because of the constant accusations, conservatives are always self-evaluating. Asking themselves, Am I racist? NO. Am I selfish? NO. Am I a good person? YES. So, we know exactly who we are, what we believe and why we believe it. And, in my opinion, we are the better for it.
