Conservatives care about logic. Liberals care about emotion. Conservatives care about whether a program works or not. Liberals care about how supporting a program makes them feel. Conservatives take the positions they do because they believe they’re best for society. Liberals take the positions they do because they make them feel and look compassionate or superior to hold those positions.
Once you understand those basics, it’s very easy to see why both sides hold the positions they do on most issues and to comprehend why there’s so little middle ground. Once you get the mentalities, you can predict where each side will come down on issues.
An extremely expensive program designed to help disadvantaged minority children read better that has been proven not to work? Liberals will support it and conservatives will oppose.
A program that cuts the deficit by cutting people off the welfare and disability rolls who don’t belong there in the first place? Conservatives will support it and liberals will oppose.
A program called “Puppies for Orphans” that hands out “therapy dogs” to poor children at $100,000 per year in cost? Liberals will support it and conservatives will oppose.
The problem with all of this is that most of what passes for “compassion” with liberals isn’t real compassion. There’s a cost to real compassion and thus, a limit to it.
Once again, you can read it all here.

Yes, the stance that many conservatives take on transgendered people is made up of nothing but logic. It is, in fact, a very emotional position that they are taking.
Neither side is free from acting with emotion over logic. To claim that conservatives are purely logical and liberals are purely emotional is ridiculous.
Liberals usually stick something they refer to as compassionate into legislation just to raise taxes and then use the tax money for something else.

well said , however , we as Americans must decide on the logical concept side. We make things very complex because of the liberal
agenda. Just remember , KISS . keep it simple stupid.
Our society is not complex , we perceive it so . The basic way we decide things are from religion , involving ethics so we can tell the difference between right and wrong. Liberals do not have this concept of religious values involving ethics and morals .
In general , one should make decisions very quickly without any group involved. The learning experience here is tremendous.
Example : Hillary Clinton is a known communist that has broken many laws , federal , international and local, we know she is running for president.
Donald Trump is running for president also , he doesn't have a tremendous amount of political experience , but he , in my opinion is the lesser of two evils ( Trump not being evil) by far.
Very simple conclusion : I vote for Trump
It's deflection.
