What's so wrong about slavery? I'm not saying I support it, but what morals does it violate? As long as you treat your slaves like real people with real feelings and real needs, then what's wrong with it?

In actuality, liberals think selfishly and conservatives think about the safety and well-being of others (those are hasty generalizations, I know -- but see if I care). Liberals are always worried about what they can get. What can you get me? I'll vote for you if you give me free healthcare, welfare, and ass-wiping. Conservatives, on the other hand, tend to care more about the future of their children and of the world itself. How can we protect this country and this world from madmen? I'll vote for you if you make the future of my children one that is filled with peace, prosperity, and opportunity. In short, conservatives want opportunity and liberals want everything delivered to them on a silver platter.
