In general, most conservatives seem to lack the ability to “bifurcate” their thoughts. This has its upside of course in terms of providing an unequivocal definition and absolute clarity of sorts on certain issues — or at least the appearance of such. But the downside is that it tends to produce a one-dimensional, rather simplistic view of things. Hence, we get the apparent divide between the more “nuanced” views of “liberals” that encompass different perspectives, delve into shades of grey and venture into the uncharted waters of relativism and the more concrete, inerrant and inflexible apprehensions of “conservatives.”Red Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422305796158017027noreply@blogger.com
