People aren't born conservative, and half of people stay liberal for a majority of their lives. But it appears that most conservatism is attatched to institutions. (Ex: religion, military, police, fraternities, family, closed socieities like the menanites, etc, etc...).
I'd like to hear your thoughts on Conservatism as a result of Institutionalism.

(don't argue, read the bible. Jesus was a socialist).

Why [does] conservatism [seem to be] an institutionalized learned trait [, to me]?
In fact, if you do research into either the conservative or liberal sides of the US political system you will come to two conclusions. They all want to take away your freedom and they all will do or say anything to accomplish this.
