I was thinking about how there could be such a huge rift between people and how they could come up with opposing answers to every problem. Here's what I've discovered through much experience. Leftists base their beliefs on emotion, espousing love, compassion and empathy. When leftists come across people with differing views, right wingers for example, they subconsciously assume that everyone else bases their beliefs on emotions as well. Because it is incomprehensible to them that others base their beliefs on logic and rationality, they automatically attribute those different beliefs with hatred and other negative emotions. This is why leftists and right wingers are unable to come to terms with one another, their brains work differently. This is also why leftists don't want to talk about costs and other realities, they want to stay focused on the positive emotional reinforcement regarding any political issue.

I disagree.

Left wingers hate America and freedom, love welfare, love abortions, love pornography, don't believe in God, love Communism and Socialism, love terrorists, don't believe in morals, support the "let everyone do what they want to do" philosophy, love dictators, love Muslims, hate Christians, want government control

Right wingers love America, freedom, God, the military, and everything that is pure.

That is the difference

Pure as the driven snow these right wingers are. Especially when they are caught tapping on bathroom stall floors. That's when they really repent and thump their Bibles. Exactly which part of the military is the purest?

Did you read what you wrote? Your post is nothing but a series of contradictions...

From the posts in this portion of C-D I've seen much more love patience/compassion and understanding along with critical thinking skills used in discussion demonstrated by so called "right wingers".

In comparison I've witnessed much hateful name-calling, ridiculing, racism (both reverses and "race-baiting") and support of legalized theft in the name of the "greater good", and destuction of Constitutional liberty espoused by the so called "leftists".

There are of course, exceptions to both sides.

Herein you state your own bias:
"Because it is incomprehensible to them that others base their beliefs on logic and rationality"

As if "others" (besides leftists) are basing their views on "logic and rationality" but that "leftists" are not capable of that.

How politically infantile are you really?

But, JoeyPants, you most certainly forgot to include that right wingers hold a hell of a lot of deep heart felt hatred against homosexuals because they are so grossly offended by their sex acts.

Perhaps it's because right wingers are religious and left wingers are atheists, like most terrorist loving Communists.

Sure you have. Especially the ones that supported a bogus war which took lives unnecessarily and are enraged that all Americans might have access to affordable health insurance. What a sympathetic lot.

BTW...just reminded from another post on this thread. The right wingers have such compassion for the rights of gay people.
