I don't hear anything in your story which indicates he lived his life based upon conservative principles....what made him a conservative?

SELF RELIANCE
- be unique... don't follow a crowd... which made me the non-conformist I am today!

if you were responding to me, then: sounds liberal to me.....conservatives follow the truth even if the crowd already knows the truth....

I was once told to avoid women who think Fuc-king and Coo-king are cities in China............you don't have a geography problem.........

you might be right that I misread your post....I thought the points below self reliance were subsets to self reliance and not independent points....thanks for pointing that out to me MrJiz.......

I was pretty much raised by wolves so it may be hard to understand I got my parenting skills form my parents. One, anything they did, I pretty much did the opposite. And two, I will give my Daddy this, he believed in just a few rules not rules for the sake of rules. I raised my child with that in mind.

Yeah, I had distant relatives like this. The parents had twin girls about my age. The parents dressed dishevedly, their house was a rat and vermin magnet, and they were packrats. You didn't walk into their house so much as you followed the paths around the somewhat stacked mountains of junk.

The twin girls were always impeccably dressed, clean, intelligent, and spoke with culture and awareness. Both played orchestra instruments. IMHO, they recognized from an early age how antisocial their parents were, and intentionally modeled anyone other than they're parents.
