I'm not sure how many of today's old conservatives were ever free thinking hippies and such. Madison in the late 60's was a pretty liberal place, but there was still a healthy minority of students who were either conservative (except maybe about sex and/or drugs), or simply not politically aware.

While there have been many infamous cases of former "radicals" turning conservative, I suspect that the vast majority of today's old conservatives were young conservatives who have only gotten more hide-bound with age.

Sigh. Republican logic.

Not Blaming Obama for the Economy that Bush Fucked Up = Obama Is Flashy

Obama Is Flashy = Obama Is Flashy, Vacant, and Does Nothing

Obama Is Flashy, Vacant, and Does Nothing = Flashy, Vacant, and Does Nothing Is What the Youth of Today Likes

Flashy, Vacant, and Does Nothing Is What the Youth of Today Likes = Palin/Ryan '16!
