What’s the Difference Between a Liberal and a Conservative?
The difference is a conservative judges a person on who he is rather than on the group to which he belongs. For liberals, group identity is more important than individual identity.
“But ‘Puter, why are you posting photos of yourself at the Sao Paolo Gay Pride Parade?,” you ask. To make a point.
Whan asked by the media about her gay friend (Gay Patriot via Instapundit), Gov. Palin responded that her gay friend was not a gay friend to her, but one of her best friends. It is this ability to look at a person (and a situation) on its own, specific merits that gives conservatism its strength, and places fundamental limits on liberalism. It allows one to see beyond rigid stereotype and assess a person and a situation based on the facts as they are, not the facts as one wishes they would be. It is also one of the many things that gives Gov. Palin her appeal to so many.

His sarcasm is so highly developed it borders on the psychic, and he is often able to insult a person even before meeting them. ’Puter enjoys hunting small game with 000 slugs and punt guns, correcting homilies in real time at Mass, and undermining unions. ’Puter likes to wear a hockey mask and carry an axe into public campgrounds, where he bursts into people’s tents and screams. As you might expect, he has been shot several times but remains completely undeterred.
He assures us that his obsessive fawning over news stories involving women teachers sleeping with young students is not Freudian in any way, although he admits something similar once happened to him. Uniquely, ’Puter is unable to speak, read, or write Russian, but he is able to sing it fluently.
Geep joined the order in the mid-1980s. He arrived at the Castle door with dozens of steamer trunks and an inarticulate hissing creature of astonishingly low intelligence he calls “Sleestak.” Ghettoputer appears to make his wishes known to Sleestak, although no one is sure whether this is the result of complex sign language, expert body posture reading, or simply beating Sleestak with a rubber mallet.
‘Puter suggests the Czar suck it.
