We really lucked out. All six of our kids (ages 50-23) are conservatives. A few of them had brief moments of “teenage liberalism”...but they grew out of it LOL!!

I think it was Winston Churchill that said, “If you’re not a liberal when you’re young, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative when you’re old, you have no brain.”

How did you manage that????? Even though it’s too late for me I’d still like to know. Maybe I can practice on my grandchildren.

I don’t know that we did anything in particular, but we always made it a point to expose the differences (liberal vs conservative) whenever the opportunities arose. They are all very much “awake” (not woke)!

It is this dichotomy that drives the Turnings. Do not trust anyone over 30, right?
