Liberals are driven by hope.

Reactionaries are driven by fear.

Interesting. I'd have said it differently.

"Liberals" seem afraid of things they don't understand. Conservatives
seem oblivious to them.

Liberal/conservative is often a silly smokescreen. I think a better, in
the sense of more useful, way to separate people is by their levels of
fear and courage (or oblivion to fear, if you prefer.) But I'm sure that
liberal:conservative correlates to afraid:unafraid.

Do you mean afraid:in denial? ;-)

Denial? No, exactly the opposite: neurotic fear that's statistically
and factually unjustified.


Conservatives, and especially religious conservatives, tend strongly to be
generous, civil, social, and civic-minded (those are statistical facts)
and less driven by fear (my opinion.)

Oh, yes! They have Faith! (which is really just belief without evidence.)

And hope. And charity. Look it up.
