I think even conservatives would agree that liberal policies are 'nicer', whatever your definiton of nice is. I mean, liberal views are generally aimed at helping everyone and not just yourself, giving people more choice over what they do and how they live their lives, fighting less war, etc, etc. So to me it just seems that conservatism is humanly unnatural. Isn't it inherent in human nature to have liberal opinions, about letting people choose, being peaceful, helping others?
What makes people become conservative? Is defending yourself before others and trying to make others do the same as you just as much inherent in human nature? Does is vary from person to person? Do people become conservative due to a lack of understanding? Are conservatives selfish people? Is it due to a lack of education? Is it down to religion? Why is it that most conservatives are also christians?
I am liberal but I'm not trying to attack conservatives, I'm just trying to understand them really.
