    I've actually found myself moving the other way. Grew up conservative, but have found that my either my views have shifted (sure, maybe somewhat), or the conservative party has shifted (WAY further to the right than they used to be). Strange world we're living in..

    Funny post I like it only because its truthful, or should I say truthful about who you are. I have a few items for you. I agree with you about puritanical born-again Christians, I don't mind if you are one but don't bother me about it. I am a constatutional conservative/libertarian. For example I do not agree or side with the GOP view on abortion. I think some things about current abortion law are unfair. At the end of the day its a woman and or a couples personal, medical, moral decision regarding what to do about abortion not ever the governments. Anyway not sure why I had to say that I guess to make the point that I do believe that the founders would be horrified at the level to which people and the government think they can stick their nose in your business. I am not sure what kind of liberal you consider yourself to be but try to pin it down. I think there are some Q/A's out on the web that will help you ID what type of political social person you are. You may be surprised to find out how much of a libertarian you are vs. a vanila liberal. Back to your friends going conservative is that your badge or theirs? I would be willing to bet they too are more libertarian than conservative. I am wondering about your friend from college why does she have to share her money? I would hope that she gives time and money to charities. But I don't understand why she would have share her money. Except for the the socialist/marxist/communist that think yours is mine and mine is mine for the greater good. There is nothing wrong with making money and wanting to keep it. So there you have it. I look forward to your response.

      Since making this post, I've decided not to get political on EP.II do enough of that on Facebook.

      You and I might not get aling wellIRL - but we could probably manage to be online acquaintances. So maybe I'll see you around.

      :) I am sure we would get along, unlike a lot of political minded people. I have the ability to discuss issues (SPAR a bit) all in good fun. A good friend co-worker of mine posted on my facebood and started by saying sorry because his opion was different than mine. I told him no need, just say whats on your mind and own it.

      When discussing politics to many people devolve into yelling, screaming and hate.

      I hope you had a good weekend.
