I'd love to see the "math and stuff" that they use to measure what qualifies as a "conservative". I would imagine that a great deal goes into the selection criteria that is subject to interpretation. I used to identify myself as a conservative. I do not any longer for quite a number of reasons, in spite of the fact that my essential political and social views have not changed. Incidentally, back when I did so identify myself, a number of my liberal friends insisted, "No, you're not a conservative." Mostly, I suppose, because I listened to their arguments, respected them, and did not do any huffing and puffing. In their estimation, I was too "open minded" to qualify. So, I wonder if I would fit the criteria they choose in this study. I guess I'll never know.
