It was a general comment, and as I noted there are exceptions.
Chiefly, in debating liberals on issues relating to war, the military, gun control, and excessive social spending I find that I often run headfirst into emotion-based arguments that are impervious to reason.
Not to say that there aren't issues conservatives get emotional about. Patriotism is one that springs to mind.
Doubt it. Liberals are the first ones to invoke stats, science, education, etc. Remember, those are liberal arts, because they disagree with many of the EMOTIONAL tenets of conservatism and therefore are not excepted.
