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. stan the l.h. utah-cs!shebs Ahhh, just what I like, a narrow minded, paranoid description of a conservative. Spare us, Stan, you old conservative. (Dammed in by your own words, lake it or not! Quick! Swim for it!) From the Ironic Keyboard of rabbit!jj
