I used to be an extreme liberal, mostly because of the social views, and because conservatives at the time seemed like religious zealots. Then I worked in a ghetto for a few years, and realized just how much I dislike them, and how much I completely disagree with some of their core beliefs. I realized that as a middle class, white American, that there are no good reasons or advantages for me being liberal. This morphed me into the extremely conservative, die hard Libertarian, ultracapitalist I am today.

How do you live in a ghetto and not understand it's conservative practices and politicians that have made the ghettoes the way they are? Cocaine brought in from South America by the CIA got put into black neighborhoods. People talk about Freeway Ricky, but where did he get such a large amount of coke? Who was his so called "friend" that was so well connected? Why was Rick so untouchable and why is he still so untouchable and powerful? If he was building an empire, why sell coke to Crips AND Bloods? That's horrible business. Doesn't anything about that seem fishy to you? Black Wall Street was burned down in a race riot, yet that is never taught in a classroom. Air still smelling clean? How about all the gun stores? Or maybe the fact that Raymond Washington was killed when he got out of jail and was trying to create peace? How is it his killer was never caught? How is it every time somebody's killed in the hood almost everybody knows who it was or at least which gang it was, yet this time the guy got away just like MLK's killer?

If you see all that, and you see the broken families and situation people live in and the fact that you're there too, how can you love your enemies?

Because I realized that liberals are the ones keeping them in the ghetto. Telling the poor people they're special and that they deserve all my money. Giving them no incentive to actually work and try to get out of the ghetto. Why would you ever want to work or achieve higher in life when Obama thinks you're special and gives you lots free stuff? If we ever want to get people out of the ghetto, we have to cut the welfare and let them either work for a higher place in society, like everyone else, or just off themselves, because they deserve to live in squalor otherwise.

what

Libertarians are conservative, are they not?

Only if it is sentient and has the same thought capabilities as a human. If it can think, it deserves rights.

Absolutely. Unless she is severely mentally retarded, she is morally responsible. Her state of mind means jack shit when she has the circumstantial freedom to make the proper decision. Humans are condemned to freedom. She is responsible for every single one of her actions. I have zero sympathy for the depressed and mentally ill.

Lasagna and mushrooms.
