I think conservatives handle death or disability issues a lot more bravely and unselfishly than liberals do. Although there are exceptions such as Christopher Reeve and now Farrah Fawcett. But those are the exceptions rather than the rule. Look at how Ronald Reagan and Charlton Heston dealt with their Alzheimer’s and the support they each got from their families which is the most important thing.
I agree 100 percent with your post!
