== 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.
* Portrayal of an issue as if all viewpoints on the matter could clearly be classified in one of two ways (e.g. someone is either "pro-[[abortion]]" or "anti-[[abortion]]")<br>
* Demonizing all negative traits as "[[liberal]]" in some form
* Generalizing [[liberals]] as one group with the same view<br>
* A belief that any and all problems can be solved with [[conservative]] values<br>
* Labeling any [[scientific]] study contrary to a [[conservative]] point as [[liberal bias]]<br>
* Blaming larger societal problems on specific minorities such [[Homosexuals]], [[African-American|African-Americans]] or Mexican-Americans<br>
* Appealing to "truth" or "accuracy" when accused of not providing a balanced depiction of an issue
