Conservatives believe in reason, logic, and accountability. They understand basic economics and historical context.

Liberals do not.

I'm reminded of Winston Churchill's quote:

“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart; if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”

American decadence and decline on full display. This young woman is the personification of neo pagan nihilism.

Apparently I have no heart. Guess I can scratch heart attacks off my list of stuff to worry about.

Nothing gets my uterus in a wad faster

A genitals voter. The difference is conservatives vote based on thought and logic and , liberals vote based on their genitals.

Can you imagine a man writing, " nothing gets my ***is in a wad faster. " What an absolutely shallow person.

And this liberal voter would vote for an incompetent criminal because her private parts are more important than reason. hrumph

Liberals go for what catches the heart or for what appears the most politically correct or protective of a victim class. Sob stories shape policy for them.

Conservatives think rather than feel about issues, and they use logic to choose policy based on the a constitution and freedom for the individual.

Progressive is a stupid adjective for politics. Liberals use it because they like the way it fakes futuristic thinking, but it often is just socialism with a snob edge.

“And there’s another thing. I love my more conservative friends, even the most annoying, because I was once among them”

You’re a stone cold liar. You were never among us.

“Confession time: I was once a card-carrying member of the NRA”

Any way to check this with the NRA?

“Also I voted for Gary Johnson in 2012. Whatever.”

Sure.

“And really, what are the real differences between liberals and conservatives anyway? Besides flame-resistant bras, fat pockets and a little extra racism on the side?”

The difference is that liberals like you tend to lie. Conservatives tend to tell the truth.

“A friend of mine — a conservative friend, no less — once told me that we hate those who embody qualities we fear we may ourselves possess.”

Yeah, suuuuuure.

that boob asked his Liberty University audience to imagine an America where "young people (come) out of school with four, five, six job offers."

What an awful man!

Who shoots a firearm once (which means she never owned one) and joins the NRA?

After Texas senator Ted Cruz announced his intention to run for president on Monday, I was pleased with my Republican friends’ response to this news. It’s not often that college-aged liberals and conservatives roll their eyes in unison …
Uh-oh, conflating “Republican” and “conservative” again; the mark of someone lying about ever being conservative in any way. (Never mind voting for Gary Johnson, a libertarian.)

So she went to college and just adopted the persona of her professors. When she's for ed to get a jib, she'll adopt their persona.
