Cannibal-
I'm not really conservative. I'm just anti-liberal. Not anti-liberals... there is a difference, you know.
I'm sure conservatives (and anti-liberals) do the same thing. It just isn't as obvious to me when it happens. I don't think it's as egregious, or as frequent, but it does happen. It could be selective memory on my part. But obviously, I don't think so.
I'll take your word on Gaz. I like to think that I'm pretty objective. Actually, it seems to me that most people on this board can see both sides of an issue when they're not in the heat of battle.
But most have a definite preference, at least on some issues. I attribute most of our differences in opinion to differences in values. Some say Compassion is most important, others say Justice. Some say Uniformity is better, some say Diversity. Order vs Creativity, Innocence vs Experience are two more. Yin, Yan. It's just the way life is.
One thing's for sure. You, Clint, oleman47, Taco John, and the rest (Skipper and Mary Ann) have your work cut out for you on this board, since you're definitely in the minority.

LapDog
