>>Let me share with you another personal "spin" :). My brother-in-law is 20 years younger than me. So I have known him since he was in the elementary school. In college he was very liberal (just like most college kids). After college, while at his first job he is still very liberal. My wife and I are laughing amongst ourselves like "give him time he will change." The kid is very hard working and ambitious. He is not happy with what kind of money he is making. So he goes to school for his masters. After masters he gets another job. Still very liberal. Works very hard and still not happy with his financial situation. So he goes to law school at night (borrows money on top of what he already owes for other schools). Make the long story short. He is now a partner in one of the top law firms in Boston. Married to a professional; has two kids. He is now Republican and proudly displays it on his Facebook. So my conclusion is that if a person, by the time they are 35 yo, is still liberal he/she is either socialist or loser <bg>

>...and it's thinking like this that cost the Republican's the election...the idea that they're superior and know what's best for everyone and anyone who disagrees is some horrible horrible person that is going to destroy the moral fabric of the whole country....especially if you're not a white christian male. What's even more pathetic is the Republican's still haven't figured this out (or at least are not willing to do anything about it). for example http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/27/house-committee-chairs-all-white-men_n_2201136.html

Look in the mirror. You are the one saying superior (I don't). you are the one bringing color into this discussion (I don't).
