the younger people are, the more likely to be liberal. the more trendy (hipster) people are, the more likely to be liberal.    the education system has been sculpted to poison many peoples minds from early on, in soo many subtle ways. don't have enough gum for everyone? don't chew it. one of your early indoctrinations into socialism, liberalism, and totalitarianism all rolled into one.    some people have also been sheltered from the effects of racial issues. and finally, some people simply can't connect the dots.     example: they recognize the gulf oil spill was a disaster, but do not attribute that disaster to obama, despite him being the one who signed off on drilling in that area despite heavy opposition from environmental agencies. in essence, what they warned him could happen.....happened weeks after obama signed off on it. liberals will never fathom connecting those two dots. if it had been bush? they would have used that as fuel against him for years, and would have went down in the history books.    the liberal mind is limited in that it seeks two actions: b) identify a problem, c) come up with a solution.    what they will never consider however, is a) what caused the problem in the first place, and d) any branching implications of any solutions. this is what's fundamentally missing throughout liberalism.     people often become liberal as they get older and wiser. although many people get older but not any wiser. it's made even worse when the bad guys think they're the good guys.
