…..according to Ann Coulter.
This is from a Question and Answer interview at FrontPageMagazine:
FP: Let’s move on to discuss your own personal background. Tell us, what influenced you to become a Conservative? Were there some people or events that molded your views in your childhood, youth, etc?
AC: There was an absence of the sort of trauma that would deprive me of normal, instinctual reactions to things. I had happily married parents, a warm and loving family, and a happy childhood with lots of friends. Thus, there were no neurotic incidents to turn me into a liberal.
There you have it. Liberalism is not a choice!
You learn something every day!

One response to “The pathology and etiology of “Liberalism””
Well, that was extremely interesting. Ann Coulter is my enemy, but she does still have _style_. The main difference between her and me, I think, is that I would defend her right to speak while she would put me up against a wall.
I’ve been thinking I’m losing my sense of humor, but I found I did find her funny. Please note: Steven Malcolm Anderson has no sense of humor except sadistic and/or sardonic. I laugh _at_, not _with_. I thought I was losing even that sense of humor when I find that I’m no longer reading “The Corner” for amusement. But I did recently get a chuckle from Arthur Silber’s latest fisking of John Derbyshire.
Etiology of liberalism? Hmmm…. I, too, grew up under a mother and father who loved each other, loved their kids (even when they had to spank us, which was often), and we lived in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of friends. But my parents were liberals! I had to become non-liberal, or liberal-conservative, on my own.
