I don't consider myself either one, but have to say that this seems to be verified in travel, of all things, which might be called "education." I see nothing so much as provincialism in conservativ...ness? ism? ity? and wonder what the forum question "If you are a conservative, how far/often have you traveled outside your home town/state" might reveal.

Also, as a "con," it seems like one would pretty much have to own our current economic situation; unless one is deluded into thinking that Presidential actions produce instantaneous results...
