..and now you're a liberal bashing conservative meaning you became exactly part of what you were protesting against. What happened?

I do not bash liberals even though I am conservative now. What happened? I grew up :) In my hippie days, I didn't have anything, so I wanted the people who had stuff to give me some of theirs. Then, after loads of hard work, I began to accumulate some stuff of my own and didn't want to give all of it away.
