It is said that liberals think too deeply about issues and are always questioning their "truths". They often see gray areas on issues. Conservatives, on the other hand, don't think deeply at all. They see everything as black or white. They always have ready made answers to all the problems we face-no taxes, less regulation, drill, baby, drill-thus not questioning their "truths". This does not mean liberals are any smarter or intellectual than conservatives: Smart people can be either. The problem for some liberals is that if you are not that intelligent then your liberal beliefs cause inner conflict, confussion and anxiety. You suffer from an inability to adequately defend your "truths". So much easier being a conservative. Just memorize the "talking points" sent to you by the GOP headquarters and you are good to go. (Maybe I am writing this on a down day: let me know what you think)
