No. Calm down.
I am calm...Sarcasm was in my reply.

sarcasm is nothing more than veiled anger.
then I guess I'm mad about everything.:roll:
I'm sure :lol:. Being here since August you ought to know the trouble with sarcasm in text compounded with the fact that I don't know you.
What about the rest of my former post?
Most conservatives, in my experience....are
Then you havent met many real Conservatives then....That or you try to piss them off.
.and I base the rest of my conclusion by the images I see on TV and other media of the hannity/limbaugh/beck crowd.
Aww. The reason for your behavior on this website comes out.
****ing retarded. I'd have just wrote retarded, but I needed 10 characters.My behavior? What might that be?
Yes. I used to be opposed to same sex marriage, using the same lame arguments the opponents of same sex marriage still use.
Then I realized what I was doing, and stopped.
Sorry....just being honest. Once I grew up and left my sheltered existence and went into the real world, I saw that many of the beliefs that I had were completely wrong.....
I was once active in high school and college with young Republican groups...but the more educated I got and the more exposure to real people, the more my attitudes and beliefs changed.
Good for you. This is exactly what I mean by changing attitudes and perceptions.
Another example.....when people who are against gay marriage actually meet gay people...their attitudes towards the issue change as well.
More and more gay people are coming out and more and more people are actually meeting gay people. Its only a matter of time before these perceptions change.
That's funny because the one thing I credit Reagan for was opening my eyes to how wrong almost everything he stood for was.

So your belief system, which apparently started out with "I've got to do something to help, to contribute" turned into "I've got to help the government steal more and more money so I won't feel guilty for being white."
And you think that's an improvement?
Ah, you mean, freedom, America, liberty and justice for all.
With me...it was actually going out into the world on my own. I saw face to face the disparities of justice and the disparity of opportunity for myself.
The had bought into the Republican idea that everyone has the same opportunity to be successful...that if you work hard enough you can achieve anything you want.
I learned that this is just a talking point to keep those in power in power and those with the wealth to get more wealthy.
I know that I have been able to get where I am in life because I have had more opportunities and more resources than many others.
Those real life experiences drastically changed my political views.
Nah, I still don't like gay people.
I just refuse to care about them so much I want to interfere in their lives.
I also see no reason why the federal government uses so many of my tax dollars to fund research into a disease that can be avoided by doing what nature intended.
I came from the attitude that people are stuck in their environments because they choose to be. That people with any initiative could raise themselves out of that and become a multi-millionaire if they wanted to.
