    I didn’t get more conservative as I grew older. At least I don’t think I did. What happened is that the definition of conservative changed.

    Criticizing censorship and restrictions on free speech didn’t use to be a conservative cause, it is now, so I grew “more conservative” without any of my beliefs changing.

      Conservatives are still quick to suppress speech they don’t agree with, though. Their criticism of censorship isn’t a cause, it’s a smokescreen.
