What are the emotions that drive conservative politics?

Herein Lies the Problem:

Politics, like Economics, like Mathematics, like Science should not be DRIVEN by Emotion.

That is why Democratic Political Ideology and Philosophy Fail when applied to the Science of Economics.

Religion is Driven by Emotion, yet, Democrats shun it?

It makes no Logical Sense to me.

My Emotions want me to Give everything I have to everyone in Greater Need than me, but Like the Example of the Depressurized Aircraft Cabin.....You HAVE to put the mask on yourself FIRST, so you are FIT and ABLE to assist those same Kids that you Love so much. It is LOGICAL and Rational, which would ENABLE to help the Poor MORE in the Long Run.

Thanks for your Question. It would help if you got your Views of ME, from ME, not from Over-Reactive Radical Zealots, be they Right Wing or Left Wing.

***EDIT*** I wonder if the Asker Expected to have so many well worded, respectful Answers from Republicans with Large Quantities of THUMBS up? Not the expected Results?

There is research that is revealing now how Conservative's and Liberal's brains are actually wired differently. Nature does this for a reason, it's not that one is necessarily better than the other; they just serve different evolutionary functions. If a group say doesn't pay enough attention to outside threats then they get attacked - 9/11 is a perfect example. If you don't pay enough attention to those with fearless imagination and the desire to innovate, then you get overtaken by those that do, as our slippage in the world attests. And so on and so on. This combination CAN work together to cover ALL the bases. But it also can, and has in this country, just become an insurmountable obstacle.

Iin my case it's fear that our Republic is on its last leg with the type of spending and power grabs (Let's just call it Big Govt.) that have been coming out of washington for too many years and that obama and his merry band of leftists have put on steroids the last 3 1/2 years. Do you realize the national debt when obama took office was $9 Trillion and is projected to be near $16 Trillion at the end of this fiscal year? That type of growth in the federal govt is simply not sustainable and puts our country at great risk of financial collapse. Get off your lib talking points and do some research and see for yourself....America needs a much smaller, less intrusive and much less costly federal government....just the opposite of what the dem party and obama are offering.

You really don't know any Conservatives do you. All you know of conservatives is the false template the media has feed you. It is not your fault people don't always interact with people outside of their own circles. But now knowing this you really should make an effort to learn about other people

or I could be wrong and you are just a troll

Edit ok then you are a troll my bad, Actually that is not knowing a conservative so I was right you don't know any. I still think you should make an effort and not be so close minded

nicely.....Im going to be lazy and say that i actually didnt study the object, so Im going to be responding to the fundemental word. i in my opinion think of that its real, because of the fact, i understand that persons are governed by way of their thoughts. many stuff that we do have not have been given any logical explantation for it. it is likewise real of politicians. often speaking, the flesh presser who wins is the guy who s the main charismatic...and who connects with the commonplace public. This connection comes by way of working the sentiments of a crowd. utilising the sentiments that a crowd feels, and influencing them with persons words. this is the real mark of a reliable flesh presser. maximum folk dont care approximately a surprising form of the failings that are mentioned in a marketing campaign....what they do care approximately are the sentiments that are mentioned by way of the candidate. thoughts incredibly do trump logic while politics is in touch.

Conservative principles aren't emotionally driven at all. They are based on the principles of liberty and freedom that our Constitution is based on.

Anyone who wants to give more to the government is welcome to do so. The fed will not turn down money.

Anger? You bet. We reject compulsory collectivism.

Hatred? Speak for yourself. Wanting control of our own earnings is natural. Your envy of the fruits of others' labor is hatred.

Arrogance? Speak for yourself again. You demand the earnings of others so you can govern what you think should be done with it. You pretend to corner the market on virtue because you pretend to care for the poor, all the while creating more poor from dooming generation after generation to government dependance. Get off your high horse, hypocrite.

You should have asked your question without the added details because those details betray your real purpose which is slander of the opposition. I could give you an answer to the question, but frankly because of those added details and of your added endorsement of another such answer that it would be a waste of my time. So instead I will give back what you have already given, but since I don't believe it applies to all of the opposition, I will tailor it specifically for you. You are an idiot!

For me its concern about a large government. I acknowledge that people are corrupted by power, and very few can avoid it.

BUT, okay. I guess your pathetic idea can also work in a society where people give up all their rights to "fight terrorism".

Well all those can swing both ways.

both parties are not that different from each other with the number one emotion being GREED

Anger, hatred, arrogance.

that pretty much nailed it. I would probably add fear to that list. They use fear often to garner votes.
