It seems that liberals think risk publicity is overexageration, that profiling is always bad, etc. and it seems that conservatives play things very cautiously.

Wow.
Stereotype much?
Liberals just realize that conservative politicians are fear mongers who have used the fear of terrorism as a ploy to distract from the fact that they're the biggest threat to liberty in the history of the nation...

No. That's not true. People have different accessions of risk and risk prioritizing as well as different opinions on how risks should be dealt with and which actions are solutions and which actions make things worse. In my personal life I haven't seen strict divisions along liberal and conservative lines but do see more people than not against the war including people who are 100% conservative on other issues. Also every liberal I know reacted very strongly to 9-11, is afraid of terrorism, has varying opinions of Muslims, terrorism, security and so forth. What we all tend to agree on is that media portrayal is not always reality and is often repeated and exaggerated and propaganda. It agitates people with no power to act on their agitation and such agitation becomes anxiety.

Pre-9-11 was when the Lord, their God Bill Clinton was in the White House serving up gravy in food lines stemming from Washington to Arkansas.

I don't agree with your assessment at all. If you remember, it was the president that wanted everyone to play like it was normal, to back and start shopping again after 9-11.

The body of your question illustrates some differences between liberal and conservative mentality. I think liberals miss the good ol' days prior to the war on terror era, when Clinton was in the house and everyone could be blissfully ignorant. Sadly, those days have ended.

Giving the government a power with no oversight, isn't what I would consider "cautious".
"cautious" is investigating people who appear to be attempting to sidestep the US Constitution.

Conservatism by its nature is resistent to change so therefore 'cautious'.
Liberals are more inclined to change. Some are in favor of radical change so you see, they will never be done. If they got what they wanted they would be even more inclined to change it.

They don't. Your premise is fanciful, partisan trash.
