In many ways, Conservative style is the antithesis of the style adopted by Liberals.
Examples of Conservative Style
The style of a conservative often includes these characteristics:
- a willingness to debate openly on all aspects of an issue or problem, without being tramelled by ideological preconceptions.
- readiness to take responsibility for the consequences of ones words and deeds.
- not using fluff or obfuscating but telling it as it is.
- behaving with decency towards other people, and treating the opposite sex with respect.
- Considering a source credible when it agrees with a Conservative position, but ignoring the same sources when it does not. (See the Homosexuality articles reliance on the American Psychiatric Institutes statistics, but then ignoring APA reports that abstinence-only education programs is not as effective as comprehensive programs)
