I was never one of those kids who knew what he wanted to do. Being a lawyer seemed ok
and kind of fit my view of history and life. My father wanted to pay for it and so it was.
My earliest thoughts on politics and political beliefs were Conservative. I used to puzzle
at my Mothers way, and found that she and I simply could not discuss the subject without
problems. Neither parent, nor any teacher I had, helped me become a Conservative. I was
born one. My first political thoughts were conservative. Kind of hit the decks a running
as a Conservative. I have never wavered.
As the years went along, I was a successful prosecutor, defense attorney, business
counselor, farmer, and business owner. In law I was always a trial attorney. During the
legal part of my life, I became a strong supporter of the United States Constitution and a
firm believer that freedom and liberty absolutely depend on a government that is
fractured, and filled with checks and balances. The founders and I share the belief that
consolidated political power is sinister. I also took every opportunity to debate these
issues and thoughts with liberals. I can recall many years of defending a Conservative
organization called ?The John Birch Society?. I believe Birch was a soldier in the Korean
War. I never was a member but did study it. Liberals were absolutely ?mad dogs? about
this Society and we could get into some real sweaty debates, which I loved. Liberals had
a terrible fear of this Society. Why?...was the question. To this day I do not know of one
example of terror, aggression, or bad conduct by it or its members. The Society was a
great subject for debate, and I used it for that. You can see the same fear and sometimes
fright in a liberal when they hiccup at the thought of the ?Tea Party People?. They have a
genuine fear. Why? and for what reasons? To date I do not know of any bad conduct on
the part of the so called Tea Parties. Both are collections of Conservatives and therein lay
the foundation of Leftist fear.
Over these years I have become painfully aware of the significant differences between
Conservatives and Liberals. Of course, there are many variables and each of us are
different and not the same politically. However, in the pure sense of it all, a Leftist cannot
be a Conservative and vice versa. It is simply an undeniable cerebral difference.
Moreover the difference is seldom acquired. It is naturally occurring. One can be lead
astray, but not for life. I have never met a recovering conservative, but have met hundreds
of liberals who suddenly see the light, and convert, never to return.
After years and years of study, debate, and work with both sides, I finally have
determined the cause. Politics is the issue most contentious. About Sex, the French have
always said, ?Viva la difference?. It is not the same with politics. Here much damage,
destruction, and actual war can be caused by this difference. For most of us our right
hand is dominate and dependable. Our left is less so. In politics it is much the same.
Fear the left, not the right. For that reason, more than any other, I would love to have
everyone think like me. This is not going to happen. Political difference will always be
dangerous.
The difference has always, until now, escaped close scrutiny.
When this book is published we can expect severe attacks and blasphemy upon my soul.
The matter must be addressed and blown open for view. At my advanced years I have
nothing to lose and maybe our world will be improved by what I write in this book.
