What Tom rightly points out
Is that the traits the authors pretend to pigeonhole on conservatives are human traits. The dishonesty of the authors is to pretend that anyone who shares those traits is a conservative. The mental gymnastics the authors go to redefine Stalin as a conservative is a real hoot. As to black-and-white dogmatic thinking, please go to any number of liberal forums for deomnstrations of just that. They are much easier to read, since many of them simply censor conswervatives.
