Who else believes most Conservatives mean well?
Advertisements [?]
I was looking at some of the responses about what makes liberals and conservatives different. Many people said that conservatives were just flat out bad people. Some are but I actually believe many are not bad people. I believe in people and think that many conservatives are just not intellectuals or free thinkers or never had someone open up their minds. They live by what is comfortable and nostalgic and what their religion (that they never bothered to question) tells them to believe. They don't like change and they believe in rules rather diplomacy and in depth communication. They look for simple rather than complex/abstract solutions. They judge everyone based on their life not having the ability to see the complexities of the human condition. It's interesting but while they preach Christianity they rarely have the compassion and empathy that Jesus seemed to be blessed with. It's like they lack the ability to empathies even though they may be able to love deeply. Empathy is a complex emotion and not all people have this ability just like not all people are good at math. It does not make them any less than we are just different. Also, some liberals can be too compassionate and their should be a balance between empathy and personal responsibility in my opinion. Liberals and conservatives should balance one another out if the country is on the right track however right now the country is way out of balance with Bush in office thinking God chose him to change the world.
