Four researchers who culled through 50 years of research literature about the psychology of conservatism report that at the core of political conservatism is the resistance to change and a tolerance for inequality, and that some of the common psychological factors linked to political conservatism include:

Fear and aggression
Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity
Uncertainty avoidance
Need for cognitive closure
Terror management

This is why if you notice, most hard nose conservatives are very angry in their postings. It's a common trend even here on GFy the hardcore right leaning people always have angry posts. It's a mental disorder so we should all treat them with kids gloves I guess.
