On a particular issue a conservative will ask, “What do you think about that?”

A liberal will ask concerning the same issue, “How does that make you feel?”

Liberals believe that both guns and gun rights advocates are evil.

Conservatives believe a gun is an inaminate tool, and its use or misuse is up to the individual.

Just a start... somebody take it from here?

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.

Liberals are WAY more concerned with what makes them appear ‘hip’ or ‘cool’ or ‘smart’.

APPEARANCE. They keep up with current ‘trends’. Those commercials with the guy who says “I’m a PC” and the other ‘cool’ guy who’s “a MAC” describes it from THEIR point of view. They NEED to follow trends.

Which leads me to believe they have low self-esteem and are weaker people deep inside.

Libs tend to say “People shouldn’t be allowed to do that”.

Conservatives tend to say, “Man, they’re stupid, but that’s their right to do that”.

The funny thing is, libs actually believe they are more for freedom than conservatives. Most libs I talk to are convinced conservatives are trying to shut them down. I think that’s just projection on their part.

My mother is extremely fond of asking, "So, Sis, how does that make you feel?"

She usually gets upset shortly after, because, to my recollection, I have never had an answer to that question. Whatever I may feel about something is irrelevant to what I might think about it.
