Ted, most Young people are Liberals only as they get older and they let their hearts grow harder do they change to the Conservative party. In the above Verse It was the Pharaoh whose heart was so harden that even after seeing the power of God he refused to let the people go. A person heart can become callused, because of greed, selfishness, hate, love of money, sex, love, and all of the passion of man. So each person is responsible for themselves and must listen to the inner voice and not let your heart become so harden. Maybe why you changed is you no longer can here the voice you heard when you were young and receptive to Gods love. Kentay
Many people grow wiser as they grow older.
Your response Kentay tells me that you don't understand conservatism because it is produces a better and more rewarding life for the vast majority of people. Leftism makes people dependent on the state, authorizes the state to confiscate the private property of individuals, and it produces unhappiness because people don't earn their success and aren't allowed to pursue happiness in their own way.
Having once been both a leftist and now a strong proponent of liberty I can honestly say that I think you're the one with the hardened heart, although it's from ignorance rather than design.
