I ask because when I look at Democrats and socialists and people who are socialist but don't realize it, I see my younger face. I'd be interested to hear what you think now and how you came to the conclusions you have. No insult intended, of course.
edit- Heh... If I hit that, there would be no tommorrow. She has kids. Game over man, game over!

I guess viewpoints depends. Perhaps you had an "interesting" youth? Not trying to say your age as I don't know but many people who were into the movements of the 60s went right due to how they viewed their younger selves. Tho I tend to notice their right is a bit right of center not extreme right.
Perhaps you saw your face as someone who wanted nukes to be outlawed. Military to do whatever.. Maybe even a socialist aspect (As some were back then) Maybe that is why you see dems and liberals as such. Tho it has tended to move to the right a bit. Especially with my viewpoint of Tecnological Progressive which is only a bit left of center and advocates a "Left" approach to gov involvement in technology research and use.
If that was the case perhaps then your shift wasnt as extreme in my opinion. I advocated violence against an entire region and advocated removing rights from homosexuals (Back then I think its safe to say I was a homophobe) My shift was extreme in comparison in my opinion. It had to be. My viewpoints got this country in a mess with the wars.
