NP asks a great question. He wants to know what makes the Conservatives and Liberals at WIS tick.
Adamelijah, Terp, and JHWhicker, please tell me what makes you a conservative and how your reasoning is guided by such values.
I can’t really begin to express my gratitude for such a wonderful question. Many times on both the right and the left look at each other like they’re stupid. Its really a difference of Worldviews.
What NP hits on is that Conservatives and Liberals come at problems from an entirely different viewpoint.
At the core of my belief system are principles, beliefs, and values. I share a lot of the same goals as liberals do. I want people’s lives to be better, I want them to be well-educated, and have the best economic opportunity. However, my beliefs and values lead me an entirely different direct than my friends on the left.
Now, I’m going to take the rest of the week responding to this, because this is too big for one post.
