It's the conservative fear of their own shadows that intrigues me. They're afraid of, well, everybody and everything. Terrorism is a good example. You have a better chance of winning Super-Ball than being killed or injured by terrorists. Yet they sacrifce their liberty for an illusion of safety.
The fact is they're afraid of most anyone different than themselves. Gay people, racial minorities. commies, liberals they fear everyone. Why do they care what goes on in other peoples bedrooms?
Why are they afraid of new fangled ideas like evolution?
Beats the hell out of me!
