Setting aside differences on social and economic issues between liberals and
conservatives, I believe there is a fundamental difference in their
respective styles of governance.

It seems to me that conservatives govern using instinct, belief and faith in
one's own actions. Liberals govern using history, precedent and usually have
a better comprehension of geopolitical affairs.

I smart whenever I hear the "Howard Dean has no foreign policy experience"
argument. My question is: what foreign policy experience did the ex-governor
of Texas have? Disregarding his trips to Canada to play the Montreal Expos
or Toronto Blue Jays, of course.
