Not really.......your political philosophy evolves with time and experience....and sometimes it does end up changing slowly.   I'm far more socially libertarian now than I ever was.....even though I've retained the fiscally conservative economic philosophy.....my hawkishness has declined a bit but not drastically.

Doing a 180 overnight?  Yeah that's a problem.

you are a fiscal conservative because of what value? does this have anything to do with justice, equality and so forth?

I'm just a Reaganomics kinda guy (mostly)

ok so you are a supply sider or something? Did you ever consider what might be the potential ethical foundations for such a theory?

No, and I don't inted to start to consider it, honestly.

As far as being a supply sider, yes, although I'm much more socially liberal than i was before, but the supply sider in me is still prevalent.
