The difference between liberals and conservatives

The difference between liberals and conservatives is that conservatives understand that there is a difference between a person and a person's opinion, whereas liberals see the two as one and the same, that is conservatives see reality as existing independent of what anyone thinks, whereas liberals think that thoughts are reality. This is why liberals can't understand the difference between disagreeing with someone about something, versus hating that person*.

*To be fair, most (but not all) liberals are capable of calmly discussing impersonal matters.

Actually the biggest difference is that liberals tend not to write blog posts with the basic purpose of making themselves feel a false sense of superiority.

So the subject of this blog, the shallow nature of liberals, is a reality existing independently of what you think?

The difference between liberals and conservatives is liberals do not have to make stupid **** like your blog post up.

I concur with the blog. It is this confusion that allows liberals to equate attacking the poster with attacking the content of the post.
