One is ruled by fleeting emotion; the other by cold hard logic.

Liberals think with their emotions and conservatives think with their brains. So it seems so.

Actually, there are a lot in between and very few at either extreme. I do agree with the general premise though. Liberals tend to do what "feels right" without thinking a lot about the ramifications. That's an over exaggeration, but so is it about conservative being ruled by cold hard logic. From that statement, one might as well be a robot. I am conservative on most issues, but not all. I am not ruled only by my thoughts, but also in part by how I feel about them.

from personal experience. I don't believe a lot of people have an understanding of this statement. I mean that in he past and not so often in the middle of the night I have been awaken to my heart actually making sounds, when I was asleep I heard these sounds thinking I was talking in my sleep, but I laid there listening to these sounds being awake. For this an confirmation to believing the scripture that the Lord speaks to the heart. More than once has this happened. I know this is hard too believe for many. But to your comment listening to the heart is different,because we mostly listen to what we know which is from the head, and were not trained to really think the heart can lead us except emotionally, but no the heart is not our brain, but it is that part of us that if the Lord would send confirmation he would confirm the action through the heart, and the knowing through the our brain

Yes, well I think therefore I am conservative.
My conservative friends all have very high IQs while the liberals I work with go with their feelings so much they cannot just put them aside and think stuff through in a cold logical way. I have been accused of being cold, but I have never hurt anybody. True I have never fit into any mold but I have an IQ of about 170.

Take a look at the history books, if you can find one that has not been rewritten, and you will find that the extreme of either political/economic system results in IDENTICAL GOVERNMENT, i.e., a dictatorship.
If the resultant dictator considers himself to be 'liberal', then the government confiscates everyone's liquid assets and redistributes some of those assets throughout the country while keeping the bulk of them within the governmental body.
If the resultant dictator considers himself to be 'conservative', then the government confiscates everyone's liquid assets and redistributes some of those assets throughout the country while keeping the bulk of them within the governmental body.
In the 'conservative' extreme end, the gov't owns and controls all commerce and media.
In the 'liberal' extreme end, the gov't controls all commerce and media through confiscatory taxes and draconian regulation.
In BOTH extremes, enforcement is accomplished by gov't military.
See the history of NAZI Germany for the Socialist extreme end.
See the history of Fascist Italy for the Capitalist extreme end.

The liberals are ruled by lies.
The conservatives are ruled by the truth.
At least that's what it seems like to me.

Well, my sister told me that she may be a bleeding heart, but my heart is shriveled and black... so I guess the opposite would be "shriveled black hearted conservative."
I like your choice better.

Hard-headed conservative. Something we need much more of now.

If Republicans are such cerebral creatures, then why are we in Iraq to help the Iraqis. There is no cold, logical reason to build schools and hospitals, to help them write a constitution and to require a certain percentage of women in their parliament. All that is "bleeding heart" stuff. And where does "compassionate" conservative Bush fall on the continuim of logic. lol

No conservatives are ruled by cold hearted greed. As for logic, this is the party that endorses the notion that the universe was created by an invisible sky god.
