HOW TO CONVERT A LIB TO A CONSERVATIVE

YOUR OSTRICH KILLER'S CONSERVATIVE COOKBOOK

Ingredients needed:
1.  a liberal brain (NOTE: while this may be a rare commodity, they do exist.)
2.  a catastrophic personal, financial or geopolitical event with crystal clear fallout.

We've all heard the conventional wisdom - that a conservative is a liberal who got mugged.  Or that if you're under 25 and not a liberal, you don't have a heart, but if you're over 35 and still a liberal you don't have a brain.

Both are true.  But neither says the obvious - that a liberal, confronted with inescapable reality and whose blinders have stopped working, will, assuming a brain between the ears, develop / invent conservatism all  by themselves.  They will become functioning conservatives, believing that they are still liberals.  Yet, in talking with them, the principles they promote will almost always be a combination of social liberalism mixed with conservative financial and geopolitical views.

Your ostrich killer is good with that.  As long as their brain continues to function they will come to see that there are consequences to even social liberalism.

So to my liberal readers, and their families, I suggest that if you agree that the above is most likely true, your ostrich killer has a suggestion: why wait for a catastrophe to bring you over to the conservative viewpoint?  You could become conservative now, and maybe even help fend off that catastrophe.  As a bonus, you'll make new thinking friends.

My duty is done.  Time for a beer.
