That is true. There is a lot that goes into the make up of a persons views. If a child is raised in a conservative house where the parents are responsible and the children are given and expected to have more responsibility as the get older, they will tend to have more conservative views.
If a child is raised in a liberal household, parents believe in a world of should's and the parents have no issue with irresponsibility because someone will always help them, they'll probably carry that same attitude with them as they age.
That's not how I was raised at all. My family was poor but they managed to send us to catholic schools. And we had to walk miles to get there. My parents instilled a value in us to help those who needed help because that is what Jesus would do. That's what I was taught by my parents and the church. So those of you who claim to be christian only do denounce those who need help are just christians in sheep clothing.
Classic Liberal (18th century) supported ideas such as free and fair elections, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free trade, and a right to life, liberty, and private property ownership.
New Liberal (21st century) supported ideas such as social justice, expropriation of property for the benefit of the needy, compelled labor for the benefit of another, and government management of the economy.
New liberalism ideas are contrary to classical liberalism, and are an assault upon absolute ownership of private property, natural and personal liberty and the freedom to exercise same.

I too was raised catholic but no longer am. I've seen too much hypocrisy among the church goers. Raise hell Friday night and go to confession asking for forgiveness on Sunday, since and repeat each week.
Just because you go to church means nothing. It has to be in your heart. The bible teaches that we must help each other but it must giving must come from the heart, in now way does the bible teach dependency and thievery.
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

God helps those who help themselves and that does not mean help themselves to other people's money or things.
Young people always start out liberal. But once you work for a living, own property, a car, pay taxes, have kids... once you grow up..... you become republican. Low information voters remain democrats.
Actually the states with the best educational systems are solid blue.

I Timothy 5:8, “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”
It is about the worst indictment a man could receive to be called “worse than an infidel.” This is not the governments job, but a man’s job to take care of his own. Even deadbeat dads should be hunted down and forced to care for their own as long as they live. Jesse Ventura, Governor of Minnesota said, “It’s not the governments job to make up for your mistakes.”

Oh I don't go to church anymore...nothing but pervert priests...done with the hypocrisy. If someone needs help you can't turn them away. And if they start to rely on that how do you let them go if they have nothing else to go to.

Our family has done just that. Long story short, my alcoholic cuz, my grandparent willed him their house because he is poor, he trashed it and it's now condemned. my mother took him in because he was poor with the rule, no drinking, what did he do, he drank and became mean with a 70+ year old widower who was supporting him. My brother kicked him out and he's living under a bridge somewhere. He was given many opportunities and he blew them all because he thought someone would always bail him out.
It's ok to help but when they won't help themselves you got to wash your hands of them.
Voluntary charity is a blessing.
BUT
Compulsory charity is a curse.
Compelling one to work for the benefit of another is slavery, plain and simple.
Some of the poor need a helping hand untill they get on their own feet. This should only be in times of great distress and for as short of duration as possible. Other poor need a kick in the pants. Those who are worthy because they will do what it takes to get on their feet should be helped. Those not worthy because they are lazy and feel entitled to other people's money should not be helped.
