Rage

I've given the matter careful consideration, and I've decided that conservatives are the angriest people in America. Conservatism as a political philosophy only appeals to people who are mad all the time. There's nothing in it to attract people who are happy about most things and like their lives. Listen to AM talk radio any time and all you'll hear is bitch, bitch, bitch; whine, whine, whine. Conservative leaders understand that anger is the only thing that motivates their followers, so every day they toss out something new to stir up the rage. There are probably a few right-wingers who can get through the day without foaming at the mouth over something, but they're few and far between.
