That would be more believable if I hadn't seen a study a couple of years ago claiming the exact opposite...of course, I didn't really believe that one, either.

From what I've seen, conservatives are more "afraid" than liberals.

I'm happy as a clam in sand! I tried to quit worrying about things I can't change, after I moved here, and so far, it's working. CGO says the weather raised her blood pressure, but since we've been in Ok., mine has gone down. That's a good thing, 'cause it was getting dangerously high. I try to focus on problems close to me, and repair what I can, and hope for help on those I can't fix. I guess you can call me a conservative, but I come from a family of ultra-conservative democrats, who no longer have any use for their party. My dad quit voting, and one time I asked him why he didn't just change affiliation. Thought I was gonna get a whuppin'! He can't stand what it's become, and can't stand voting the ticket. I prefer my way.

I find Conservatives more apt to stand up for what they believe and fight for it if necessary. However, Troy 2000 is an exception and I would value his advice and backing in any SHTF situation, along with a whole list of other conservatives here.

I don't know if I really like designations of "liberal" or "conservative" all that much......I lean more right than left (actually, I lean to what I believe will work, and what intervention should be limited by our constitution given what history has shown can happen with an out of control government); however, my stand on some issues is pretty "liberal"; on other issues is pretty "conservative." I'm not a "moderate" by any means ! I'd run as a Democrat or a Republican or Independent or whatever. I wouldn't change my views to agree with a party; I'd change them based on success or failure and/or a well reasoned argument.

Annoy a Liberal: Work hard and be happy I have that on my bumper sticker. I am happier than a liberal, because I work for what I have and I don't feel bad that other people don't have it if they didn't work for it.
