Entry: Why the Right Moves Left Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/why_the_right_moves_left#12944 Post contents: One can also see this movement from right to left in old conservatives. This can be seen in William F. Buckley. As he got older---he got more leftist. As people age---they become softer. The will to fight, does not become them. Old people become sedated, relaxed, and more unperturbed. A fighting spirit goes out of them, and they relax their standards. Conservatism is a hard thing. Conservatism is Hard and not many people are up to it. It is easier to take the low road than it is the high road. Conservatism is the High road. Only a people that are conditioned to the Hard---can be conservatives. An easy life, or a too hard of a life, breeds liberals. Sent at: 2008 07 06
