>From personal experience, I find that the TV portrayal seems accurate (TV
accurate? must be something wrong).  Conservatives *do* tend to be
narrow-minded, paranoid, etc.  Some of those things are just part of
being conservative - of course, the conservatives use different words
to describe the same attitudes.  Perhaps the paranoid stereotype originated
with SecDef Forrestal, who really did end up in a mental hospital.
My personal inclination is to view conservatism as resistance to new
things and reluctance to change, which is (literally!) subhuman behavior.
