"Your questions are about feelings and not about facts, therefore the answers to your questions will not help you to understand conservatism as it is about facts and not feelings.

I am not trying to incite an arguement, only to understand your perspective."

Thanks for your reply.

It is true that I want to understand the feelings behind conservatism, because to me, that is necessary to understand the conservative viewpoint. Perhaps if I phrased my question: "What 'facts' make conservatism better than liberalism", you could explain your viewpoint in terms of "facts"?

I don't want to get bogged down in The Definition Game... I just want to understand.


Thanks,
The Liberal

We wouldn't want to bog you down so why don't you just imagine the answers and take them back to DU with you. Shooo!

i will answer you honestly and sincerely. i used to be a liberal. i gave money to Walter Mondale's campaign. then i grew up. and i mean that in the best possible way. it is extremely easy to be a liberal when you are a young college student.
