I have come across a few observations on the differences between the liberal and conservative:
• Liberals are more self-centered than conservatives.
• Conservatives are more generous and charitable than liberals.
• Liberals are more envious and less hardworking than conservatives.
• Conservatives value truth more than liberals, and are less prone to cheating and lying.
• Liberals are more angry than conservatives.
• Conservatives are actually more knowledgeable than liberals.
• Liberals are more dissatisfied and unhappy than conservatives.
But hey, don’t take my word for it. Take Peter Schweizer’s exact words in his new book Makers and Takers. And Pete has dug deep—through tax documents, scholarly data, primary opinion research surveys, private records and more.
But seriously. Conservatives such as Ronald Reagan have long argued that liberal policies promote social decay. He kept a plaque on his Oval Office desk that read: “There is no limit to what a man can do, if he doesn’t care who gets the credit.” Indeed Mr. Reagan, indeed.
In this day and age the current liberal is not John F. Kennedy or Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is Peter Pan, the mythical character who avoids responsibility, refuses to grow up, and is terribly self-absorbed. The failure lies in modern liberal ideas, which harbor a self-centered “if it feels good do it” attitude that leads liberals to outsource their responsibilities to the government and focus instead on themselves.
