Take one trait that is common among liberals; tolerance. This same trait
is
not shared or highly regarded by conservatives. A trait they like a lot
more

I must call bull**** on that one.
I find tolerance to be about equally practiced by liberals and
conservatives, though you may find it preached more frequently by
(political) liberals.

It is a trait I rarely see displayed by pundits of either side.


The point is this, is the word tolerant one that is frequently used when
describing a conservative? There is just no denying the fact that
tolerance
of other views, ideas, or lifestyles is not something that is commonly
associated with conservatives. You can deny that all you want but liberals
are always more associated with being tolerant than conservatives are.
That's just a fact.

I think that in what you have said that a neutral person could reverse the
words "Conservative" and "Liberal" and it would ring true either way.

I believe your opinions of conservatives are based on a collage of the worst
traits of the far fringe right, as is true with some opinions of liberals by
some of the conservatives.

In reality, I think most people are somewhere closer to the center. In some
views, I have more liberal opinions than you and most liberals and you
probably have the reverse.
