what makes a conservative up is the ability to separate emotions from logical and be rational in times of great need

Mike, that is just psycho babble nonsense! What makes a 'conservative' a 'conservative' is the things they believe in.

and what do you believe when you are hyper emotional and irrational like a Liberal when you are screaming about starting a war at a Pinellas Park hospice?

why do you think LIBERALS are called bleeding hearts? Because they lead with emotions!!!

Ditto. Conservatism is a matter of core belief.

And it isn't always pretty when they clash. Recall how founding of the country was a monumental and fractious contest. To give you an idea of how high "emotion" ran, note this missive from one of the Founders directed at the Tories and fence-sitters:

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
--Samuel Adams

Logic, reason, and objectivity are psychobabble nonsense? You can say that with a straight face? I've been doing my absolute best to hold my tongue, and not get personal with those who believe the feeding tube should be reinserted, but I can't say that I see that respect returned.
