He says conservatives are not the bad guys as liberals tend to believe, and should show more compassion towards them.

Religion is also less important to them.Although Peter Grubber says he neither a liberal or a conservative, but something in between, and yet his article is a devastating read for conservatives as the US is indeed changing very fast.He says conservatives are naturally more fearful than liberals because they are less open to new

He says conservatives are naturally more fearful than liberals because they are less open to new experiences, other cultures, and change. But if you look around the internet the research shows that conservatives may be happier as they have stronger family ties, while their traditions also give them security. But liberals tend worry more about the environment, poverty around the world, and what's been put in their food by the corporations, etc, (although many on the right are concerned about GMO's too).
I have many lovely conservative neighbours who I am much friends with, but I have never spoken about politics with them. I think they see the British Conservative Party as the party of British tradition, law and order, King and country, authority, and honour - the good guys who defend us from the criminals, anarchy (that's the Labour Party), and our enemies. But I see the whole thing in reverse.
