Nov 5 2012: Procon.org has published a study that indicates conservatives and liberals have unique attributes in how their minds work. It was a relief to read this, it explains many things. I also think it has to do with who we spend our time interacting with. If we surround ourselves with like minded people, watch, read or listen to ideas that only support one view we are more inclined to believe strongly in an ideal. If you interact with those you disagree with you can have dialogue and even some understanding of why they believe a certain way. Communication is key. As a side note, this Republican Party is NOT the Republican Party I grew up with.
