I can tell this is pretty much going nowhere just like the Trayvon thread so I'll just state my point.
Conservatives are influenced by fear of the 'other' someone who is going to come in the night and take away their stuff, not realizing the leaders who put these fears in their heads are the ones who took the stuff, enslaved the kids, and are standing proudly next to the stars and stripes while flying the international corporate piracy jolly roger of greed behind their backs. It's easy enough to see, but it means having a second or two of introspection and doubt in authority which sadly our education system has drowned and fox news/talk radio buried under years of programming where emotions rule and facts drool. Television makes you stupid. Stop watching.
Liberals on the other hand love to belong. They will follow lemming-like any fearless leader off a cliff even in the case of Obama who has proved himself a wall street whore and warmonger deluxe infatuated with dismantling the very constitution he studied so much back in his elitist university days while snuggling up to Chicago crime bosses and whomever else would give him a grab at power. Including Darth Cheney himself. You try to point this out to a liberal and they recoil in horror because they think anybody who has an idea different from the party line must be a conservative or whack job. They are so afraid of anybody else disturbing their ivory tower of rightness that they lock themselves up in colleges and gated communities preaching to each other about how awesome they are for supporting the most recent meaningless feel-good campaign. Just don't disturb their illusion or they will call the riot squad on you.
Of the two I think liberals are the more dangerous. The cave men will eventually wake up to the fact that the unpleasant sensation on their backside is actually their own rape-in-progress, cave man rage will be unleashed, poop will fly, suppressed homoerotic tendencies will be confronted, and the system will come crashing down with a new batch of tyrants to spring from the ashes. The daddy-worshippers, however, want to usher in a terrifying totalitarian utopian era with all the feel-good joy and pleasantness of and Orwellian nightmare.
