why are conservatives wiser than liberals?

Question

I was a liberal but now, older and wiser through experience became a solid republican.

Answer 1

Conservatives think with their minds and are objective thinkers. Then they compare their theory to what their heart says is right and come to a conclusion that objectivity is more persuasive than what their heart says is right.
.
Liberals think with their hearts first and are subjective thinkers. Then they compare their theory to what is rational in there mind and come to a conclusion that subjectivity is more persuasive than what there brain says is right.

This also explains the vast majority of celebrities whom are Liberals. Thinking with their heart helps them perfect their art. Whether it be singing, acting, or whatever their "expressionist" craft might be.

As I age I find it is easier to look at things objectively. Subjectivity tends to cloud my judgment.Objectivity brings wisdom in my belief. Though my subjectivity brings a moral balance to my thinking.

Answer 2

I can't answer the question as asked because conservatives are NOT wiser than liberals. Conservatism and liberalism are to different mindsets that have been classified for a good three hundred years now and have existed practically since the birth of Democracy. They are just different frames of mind and one is not better than the other. If one or the other becomes too strong, it can potentially precipitate the destruction of the country. For example, look at the U.S.A. under George W. Bush.

You, sir, are a flaming bigot and I am reporting you.

Answer 3

Yes....The Liberal ideology is a theory which holds forth beliefs that have no basis in reality.
They are Advocates of a policy that empowers a strong government to enslave its people with a high tax burden incident to the support of extravagant and unnecessary social programs destructive to both the work ethic among the lower class, and the incentive to innovate and succeed among the working class.
The problems we face today are because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.
A democracy will continue to exist up until
the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous
gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority
always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from
the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
collapse over loose fiscal policy

Answer 4

I don't think that's always true. Some conservatives are quite stupid.
However, in conjunction with your opinion, I have noticed that my ideas have become more conservative as I've gotten older.
For example, I used to be for the legalization of drugs, especially marijuana. Now, I just believe that marijuana should be decriminalized. If an adult in an adults-only household wants to smoke a bowl in their own house, or grow a plant for their own use, I don't think they should be able to be prosecuted, so long as it's not on government property. BUT if there are children in the house...hit them hard! If they're dealing, hit them hard!
I had other liberal ideas in high school, but I've become more moderately conservative.

Answer 5

"Solid Republican" implies one has a head filled with concrete. I tend to agree.

Now that your boy Dubya has killed and crippled thousands of young men, he won't have to worry about them marrying anyone, let alone marrying each other. Excellent solution to a troubling problem.

Stem cell research is not able to repair what is wrong with conservatives, so I think we should abandon it.

Maybe the dead Iraqis have a different take on all this. The rest of the world thinks we're insane. And they're right, look who we elected.

Answer 6

Some people grow older. Some people grow wiser.

Wise people decide life isn't fair, take fair off the table, and strive to make the best with the cards they are dealt.

Liberals haven't realized that no one else loves them like mama.

Answer 7

Age related dementia may be part of the answer. If you honestly believe Jerry Falwell, George Bush, Strom Thurmon, Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, Robert Dornan, Tom Foley, Tom DeLay, Ann Coulter and the rest of their ilk, you lost your reasoning powers long ago. I will, however, give you a point or two for Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater.

Answer 8

I don't think either political ideology by itself is worth a sack of s h i t.

Funny how people take such pride in insignificant titles like "Liberal" and "Conservative" as if that is supposed to make some sort of
extreme statement.

When was the last time someone proudly identified themselves as a poltical moderate(except me)?

Answer 9

Many people, including myself, have changed our political views to become more conservative as we get older. I was very liberal in my 20's, moderate in my 30's, and pretty darned conservative in my 40"s.

I guess with age comes wisdom!

Answer 10

Well I'm neither conservative nor liberal so where does that put me in this black or white question?
