An interesting thing that psychologists and neurologists have found, is that, the part of the brain "liberals" and "conservatives" think with is different (conservatives tend to default to "automatic thinking", liberal tend to "analyze", and no, that has nothing to do with intelligence); and very conservative people tend to be authoritarian, and work from a father-figure mode: there are rules, and you never break them. Period. Liberals tend to look at each situation, shades of grey, etc.
Doesn't mean one is right or wrong, they are just truly, measurably different in how they think and approach problems or discussions.
