A conservative has things to do, family to defend, no time or patience for this kind of screwing around.

A liberal has nothing better to do and has a deep desire to experience, vicariously if not directly, the sickest behaviors of man. To camouflage their insanity the claim that their indulgence is an effort to save what ever is left of the attackers humanity and build his self-esteem. They tarry too long around the dark flame of criminality, "feeling their pain", being "understanding", and seeking the "emanations" and "penumbras" of evil until its too late.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, now that I have the gun, Im burgling you."
"But...I feel your pain."
"Yes, you do...BANG!"
"Arrrgh! Gurggle, gurggle, eh..."
Burglar goes about his burgling.
EXACTLY! NEVER, EVER LET THE BAD GUY GET WITHIN ARM REACH OF YOUR WEAPON!
