It appears, according to recent personality research, that your political orientation is inborn. Your inclination to either political philosophy of "right" or "left" is a personality characteristic that is inborn. You do not slowly develop your political ideas after thoughtful deliberation. Your political views are a manifestation of your personality characteristics, which are inborn, and favor different priorities in different people. Your political opinions are not a result of your logical thought.
Child psychology studies show that infants tend to be either "sameness seeking" or "novelty seeking" behavior. Some infants get internally rewarded for finding familiar situations. Other infants get internally rewarded by new and unusual situations. As the child grows, the innate preference is manifested as political affiliation. The conservatives tend to be babies that were "familiarity seeking" infants. And the Liberals tend to be babies that were "Novelty seeking" infants.
