Conservatives hold convictions and values. They believe in them. They teach them to their kids. They write books about teaching them to their kids. They get involved in activist activities like holding up signs at an intersection showing the truth of what an abortion does to the unborn baby – and in the process, they get spit upon. Conservative values mean something, and thus why they suffer the maltreatment – because in enduring, they persevere to the greater good. Conservatives do believe not only in good vs. evil and right vs. wrong, but in the varying degrees of each as well.

Liberals don't. Liberals believe in expediency – not process. That's why someone should just be given a check from the government instead of going out and earning their keep. That's why people should be allowed to kill unborn children – because that kid will end up getting in the way of my life. That's why liberals – and apparently in record numbers given the response at last week's presidential debate – believe that you shouldn't make a difference in saying whether or not it's good for a man and woman to be married as opposed to a man and a man. (According to John Edwards, by the way, this is the greatest issue facing America – Frank and Johnny in the bedroom – not terrorism or 9-11 or anything like that.)
