conservatives don't care about personal responsibility it is a meaningless talking point meant to say we don't want the government helping people we hate who we will than label a lacking personal responsibility because the government is helping them.
conservatives don't care about a centralized government, look at the GWBush presidency when conservatives loved GWBush for his War on Terror and GWBush's War on Terror was the one the largest expansions of government power in a long time, and conservatives loved it. conservatives also loved when the federal government banned gay marriage. Another meaningless conservative talking point that ignores reality.
Yes conservatives do advocate for less regulations.
The question is how do conservatives base so much of their political ideology on hatred?
No my understanding of conservatives are based on reading books.

Change they can't believe in By Christopher S. Parker and Matt A. Barreto

Do you know what confirmation bias is? You suffer from this greatly, even in your reading choices. This is the same as people who say liberalism is a mental disease and seek out instances of proving this bias true. How is what you are saying any different?
The truth is that conservatives comprise a huge amount of your fellow Americans. They are not people who hate. They simply differ in their thinking on the role of government in this country. Your type of thinking illustrates the worst of partisanship and I truly find it unfortunate that you have this rather limited understanding of your fellow citizens.

I know what confirmation bias is, but this isn't about me. This is about what conservatives believe.
The difference is that liberalism has been proven to be about human progress. conservatism not so much.
Well first off let's be very clear American's have a history of hating all sorts of people. And putting that hatred into law and action. So this idea that millions of Americans can't hate is incongruent with history and reality.
Not only have Americans hated, our official government policy for 80% of this nation's history was based on that hatred.
conservatives do hate. Their political ideology is based on hatred of out groups and all anyone has to do is listen to conservatives when they talk about other Americans. Their rhetoric is full of hatred for millions of Americans.
I am not partisan, I have never been to a Democratic party event. I have never participated in politics outside of voting. I have never even donated money to any political candidate.
But I have eyes and ears and a mind and I listen to conservatives and they hate.

Relax, southbel. little iamme posts for the purpose of smearing and bashing conservatives, not to tell the truth.

Now its not just Republicans but most of Americans as well?

Yup. The Democratic party vote isn't for Democrats. There is a legion of Americans that simply vote "anti-Republican" to oppose the conservative wing of the Republican party (which has all but consumed the entire thing). Conservatives have no ideas or plan for anything. I'm still waiting on their "better" plan for health care reform. *cricket sound*

But I do it for both. I bash conservatives daily because they are wrong about everything.
When is the last time a conservative came up with a positive idea for America? Don't worry I'll wait.
The last conservative poster that attempted to answer the question came up with a laundry list of "objections" to liberal policy (in his own words). Not a single idea. This isn't a coincidence. Conservatives have no idea. Their entire fantasy worldview is based off fear, hatred, and reactionary responses.

Securing the borders.
Creating a system of Immigration that works for America.
Developing America`s vast Oil and Gas deposits.
School Vouchers and Charter Schools.
Supporting and defending the 2nd Amendment.
Love the leftist term "reactionary".
How is using logic, reason, and common sense seen as fearful or hatred?
Like a true leftist you use emotion and opinion to see the world as you want it, not how it so clearly is.
