The Anger Of The Left

[bomelia]

Its true! Conservatives are by their very nature, well, uh, conservative. Instead of shouting silly slogans and printing bumber stickers, they would rather spend time discussing and strategizing. Both methods work, obviously. But because conservatives don't (as a rule) rally, protest, and sloganize does not mean that they (we, or me) do not care. And certainly there are no strict boundaries, some conservatives do protest (witness abortion centers and so on) and some liberals like to think (blogs, op-eds, etc).

Here is the crux. Liberals tend to lean towards emotionalism, stirring up the masses. Conservatives like to try appealing to one's logical side. What can you say? We are all different. Leaders are those who can do it all. Doesn't mean they are good leaders, but they lead none the less. Its really funny to watch liberals try to do intillectual stuff and even funnier to watch conservatives do emotional stuff. It rarely works. But the intended audience gets the point.

Mike,
I actually wish that conservatives would be unemotional. Perhaps then we would be able to analyze our problems and actually fix them.

Right now I see a lot of people on the left hollering about all kinds of things without offering a fix. I also see a lot of people on the right crying 'traitor' every time someone disagrees with them.

We have massive problems with a lot of things, but folks on the right frequently end up saying that you hate America if you point out any of those flaws.

I'm sick of the lack of ability to find solutions of the majority of the left, but I'm even more sick of the blinders that many on the right wear.
