What a great quote. Being 43 now, I've struggled with that conversion and Churchill nailed it. In my heart, I still support liberal causes and views, but in my brain I find myself more and more aligned with conservative policy. Finances play into that a lot, of course. As my income and personal wealth have grown, I find I benefit more from the conservative's fiscal policies, tax cuts, etc. At the same time, though, I can't help but see people of mid and lower incomes struggling due to many of the same policies.
jc3900, understand that none of us are attacking you personally, but your world view at 18 or 19 simply isn't the same as it will be when you are 30 or 40 or 50 or 60. When I was your age, I probably shared your views for the most part. As you further your education, expand your horizons, travel the world, build your fortune, etc., your positions evolve and change.
