I've seen various versions of that PC and it still impresses me as what 'conservatism' is all about.
I think the Conservative begins with valuing reward for honorable productivity and allowing consequences for a choice not to be productive. The emphasis is not necessarily rejection of a hand up, but on the necessity of the individual taking responsibility for his own productivity.
I think the Liberal begins with concern for the nonproductive, criticism for the unfairness of factors that made him/her non productive, and emphasis on correcting those factors. The motivation of the nonproductive is immaterial and only external factors should be the concern.
To add to your unbiased opinions....we also need to recognize:
"Keeping people from thinking too much...or just asking them to deliberate or consider information in a cursory manner can impact people's political attitudes, and in a way that consistently promotes political conservatism," Dr. Eidelman said."
A good example of "conservatives'" inability to think-on-their-feet is this....
....that takes very-little-effort, for those who take calculated-risks (and, challenge themselves), on a daily-basis!!
