That's it at the core...liberals function from feeling, conservatives from thinking.

One other thing I've noticed is that liberals don't seem to be able to separate their opinions from themselves, so when you criticize a view they hold they take it as a personal attack. A conservative, on the other hand, tends to be willing to revisit an idea they hold, examine it and if it's flawed improve upon it or if it's wrong discard it without viewing it as a personal attack.

I'd say Conservatives are more religious, while Liberals are more superstitious.

Conservatives are more likely to believe in a supreme deity and an organized form of prayer and beliefs.

Whereas Liberals can and do mentally imbue objects with specials ‘powers’.

IE: guns are the special ‘mystic’ power to slay people from whence they lay. A hunk of coal or barrel of oil will magically spew forth toxins that will force themselves into your body, intent on destruction.
