Another difference between Liberals and Conservatives

The comment thread on this post at The World According to Nick demonstrates something I’ve often thought:

Liberals believe the world can be made safe via more gun laws, viagra viagra more psychiatry, best cialis shop more helmets, and more restrictions. Eventually, they’ll legislate danger out of existence.

Conservatives know that the world cannot be made completely safe and thus resent and resist limitations on their freedoms made in the name of reducing risk.

(Smart Liberals like my friends Jay, Capper, or Grumps, will try to point out that my last statement isn’t true when it comes to national security. But I respond by pointing out that Conservatives don’t think that warrantless wiretaps are restrictions on their freedom.)
