They have a psychological need to be part of a structured group with simple rules and leaders who tell them what to do and think. Uncertainty scares them, they need a god and a president to tell them that everything is going to be OK. They hate individuality in thought or action because they do not know how to think critically themselves and that scares them.
Since they are afraid of the unknown, the future scares them and they rewrite the past to justify the present. Truth and reality are what they say it is. They lack the intellectual and emotional qualities necessary to face life on their own.
Essentially, they are adults on the outside and children on the inside who need to be reassured that they are good, that they are safe, and that mommy and daddy (church and state) will handle the real world for them.

I think that most conservatives align themselves as a repuglican because they believe the rhetoric, i.e: liberals want to take your gun, liberals are baby killers, liberals are all atheist, ect. You know the stuff Rush Limbaugh rants every single day. I also think they are conservative because they are anti-democratic. Then there are the mentally impaired that is the middle class conservative that every time he or she votes they shoot themselves in the foot as the conservatives always favor the rich and large corporations and abandon the middle class that votes for them.

Socialization. I think its learned. There may even be predisposition linked to personality type. I think cognative dissonance and socio economic status have lots to do with this.
Being a conservative is not much different from the ethos of the old Calvinists is it ? The arguements seem the same.

I think true Conservatives are much like minded liberal, and nothing like these grotesque greedy corrupt far right noecons that morphed out in the 1990's.

I can understand the difference between giving "liberally" and giving "conservatively", but I'm not so sure that everyone can

Conservative values are Ok, between consenting adult conservatives. They should be able to practice the art of buggery in the comfort of their own homes without fear or prejudice.

Because you are crazy obviously, you were born missing the compassion gene, it was replaced with a bible thumping war mongering gene.
I dont really think that by the way.

Because they choose to be, perhaps? I couldn't really care what party one aligns themselves with, just don't expect me to agree with it.
