Conservative teen author is now a liberal.

[QUOTE="Serraph105"][QUOTE="kraychik"]

It was pathetic for CPAC to present this kid as some sort of thought-leader for conservatism. A thirteen-year-old writing a book? Please, it's all smoke and mirrors. A few folks make a killing off of this joke. It's a good thing this kid has been excised from conservatism. Perhaps when he really grows up, he'll return.

Maybe when you get a job and pay taxes you'll come to my side Serraph.

So having a job and paying taxes requires you to be on one side of the discussion? That's news to me.

What a stupid thread by a stupid TC who makes stupid generalisations about people. I think the TC is a kid himself who lives in a small world and thinks the word "conservative" = the devil. Stop listening to Rosie O' Donnel lol.

Peoples views change over time, I was pretty liberal when I was younger, then I went to being a conservative, then later a libertarian, and now I don't subscribe to any political idealogy but I suppose you could say I'm moderately conservative or center-right, but I don't like lables.

I have met intelligent and good liberals and stupid and bad liberals, I have met intelligent and good conservatives and stupid and bad conservatives. People are too diverse and the philosphies are not inherently "bad" nor are liberals or conservatives inherently "bad".

I think only the extreamists are the bad ones, on both sides.

It's a bit of a balancing act, on the one hand you need social programs, any good stable society does. That's why people who say "socialism i evil" are full of sh!t, there is socialism in our society and it's nesseccary. However capitilism is needed as well, it creates wealth and allows people to pursue there dream, as well as create competition which drives our society.

The tax issue is hard to manage, but it's nesseccary. If taxes are too low the social programs get cut and people can end up without programs they need to rely on. If taxes get too high however businesses can't higher people or expand, and thus have to close their doors to employees and they raise their prices, which makes infaltion go up.

It's all a balancing act, like I said. You can't have one without that other. Capitilism + Socialism = Stable Soceity.

I agree completely. Taxes are just like everything in life, you got to have balance. Serraph105

I don't want him on our side, maybe he can go throw in with the Ron Paul crowd.

Us sane RP supporters don't want him either.

I have a job and pay taxes, and I'm pretty sure I have different political beliefs than you.

It's pretty obvious what happened with this kid. He started out as a Conservative, discovered girls, realized most of the girls he wanted to screw were Liberal, and he changed his political leanings to help get him some Liberal muffins. He will probably be a Conservative again when he's in his 30s.ad1x2

That doesn't mean I proselytize liberal teachings in class and try to indoctrinate my students. And based on my experience, there are quite a few conservative instructors out there.

Its quite simple you can argue one of two things.. You can either argue for health insurance for all or you can start argue that doctors and hospitals should not lift a finger for the uninsured who are dieing... You will lose the later arguement.. As it stands we already paying for the uninsured, and I am sorry but if your uninsured but can afford it.. You deserve to get taxed, your idiocy in thinking nothing can happen will end up costing the rest of us money when that something happens..

you're also a professor... professors are generally known to have liberal leaningskingkong0124

Because of all the book learning?
