&lt;div&gt;Conservative principles are based on reason.  So why do non-conservatives still exist?  Here are some reasons:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Statistical Analysis ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Estimates)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:* 100%: Being awesome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== What Triggers Reconsideration of [[Liberal]] Beliefs? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What triggers Conservative beliefs?  Here are some estimates:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
50%: Small wang.&lt;br /&gt;
5%: Hating black people.&lt;br /&gt;
45%: Closeted homosexuality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cultural indoctrination ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Conservative Brainwashing and deceit: &lt;br /&gt;
:* They pride themselves on doing well in school or reading the newspaper, can't accept that what they were taught was incorrect or biased.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Dangerous professors who impose their opinions upon vulnerable youth.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Television programs posing as comedies, such as [[South Park]], [[Family Guy]], and [[The Simpsons]], which inject liberal beliefs and mock conservative values&lt;br /&gt;
:* Exposed to incorrect liberal ideas throughout education. Standard American kindergartens up to the fourth grade.  Wastes the potential of most children&amp;amp;mdash;does not expose them to foreign languages and other learning tasks their minds are obviously and mysteriously suited for.  All helping to make them think they need liberal man-made structures that in fact limit their potential in a self-defeating sort of cycle.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Indoctrination by liberal churches which have a disproportionate focus on biblical passages that appear to support liberal positions, eg. the adulteress story, the disciples holding everything in common, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
:* A blind obsession to be famous, act and imitate the ways of their famous idols, to absorb their ideals as their own.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Failure to realize that modern science and modern wealth are the result of historical processes set into motion by God-fearing Christian Conservatives like [[Blaise Pascal]], [[Robert Boyle]], [[Isaac Newton]], and [[James Maxwell]]. &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(When the obvious importance of  Christianity to these scientific figures' everyday lives comes up in an academic situation, dangerous professors&amp;amp;mdash;[[liberal]] historians and [[liberal]] scientists&amp;amp;mdash;have been known to label it as &amp;quot;some mental disorder&amp;quot;.)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:*Elementary through high school textbooks having appalling and reprehensible omissions on the basic facts of American life (religion, marriage, politics, and business)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; ''Censorship: Evidence of Bias in Our Children's textbooks'', [[Paul C. Vitz]], Servant Books, 1986, ISBN 0-89283-305-X, (this book contains the results of a federally funded research project analyzing children's textbooks) &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:*For decades Universities have discriminated against hiring conservatives, especially social conservatives and religious believers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://books.google.com/books?id=zGOuAAAACAAJ A Student's Guide to Religious Studies], D. G. Hart, ISI Books, 2005, ISBN 1932236589, 9781932236583, 108 pages; see page 38 and note on page 107. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This has resulted in most college graduates being exposed to liberals prejudiced against conservatives and conservative thought. These graduates become the teachers and other professionals who are unwitting soldiers in liberalism's battle against a Christian Reformed, Roman-Catholic/Anglican/Orthodox, obedient-to-God reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*No exposure:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Current fashions in American professional behavior make expressions of Christian faith awkward in the workaday world.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Increasing zone of publicly funded anti-religious fanaticism (e.g., no prayer in public schools)&lt;br /&gt;
:* Spectacle of entertainment industry (e.g., movies and T.V.) cuts into traditionally popular Christian church social activities&lt;br /&gt;
:* Most universities and hospitals have forgotten or have been forced to deny (to get various grants and even retirement benefits for their professors) their religious roots.  Catholic affiliated institutions remain one of the few exceptions (few or possibly no other body of Christians can make legitimate claims of offering modern [[Pastoral care]] as the Roman Catholic church)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Peer Pressure: &lt;br /&gt;
:* They have liberal friends, and want their approval or acceptance.&lt;br /&gt;
:* They live in a predominantly liberal state or community and fear rejection from said community. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Systemic bias: &lt;br /&gt;
:* Some people are [[The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness|inherently irrational]], and are thus driven to liberal ideology.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Their job and salary, such as working for public schools, depends on keeping conservatives out of power.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Media bias acts to caricature conservatism, making it seem unpalatable, conditioning people to reject its teachings.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Schools reward politically correct, liberal answers on tests.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Negative focusing by the media highlights personal flaws of conservatives, driving people to choose to identify with liberals rather than be categorized with those traits.&lt;br /&gt;
