My response was to give examples of what I consider irrational fears of some conservatives and some liberals - then I add that ideology makes an objective analysis difficult.
Second, or actual it was my initial response in this thread, is that there is a known correlation between inclination of fear and age. There is also a correlation between age and conservatism.
As the responses mounted I further illustrated how ideology clouds an objective analysis of this issue.
