The Asymmetry of Ideology by Rand Simberg and posted on PJ Media.
http://pjmedia.com/blog/the-asymmetry-o … epage=true
Sorry to only post a link this time but the article is way too long and has too many links and quotes and such for me to be able to cut and paste it and still have it look and read properly.
If you are a conservative and want to understand liberals a little better, or if you are a liberal and just can not wrap your head around why anyone would choose to be a conservative, this article should answer most of your questions. Enjoy.

Re: The Asymmetry of Ideology by Rand Simberg and posted on PJ Media.
*chuckle* I found this in the comments of the article. I have to say, there's a nugget of truth in this:
"I think there’s a relatively simple explanation: conservatives understand liberals because we all were once teenagers, but liberals can’t understand conservatives because they’ve never grown up.
Think about it for a moment: practically every aspect of observed leftist psychopathology conforms to the attitudes of a 15-year-old." (It was #7 on the list.)
Now, I'm not sure I totally agree with the "liberals never grew up" part, but I can certainly see the truth of the first part.
