Prager on the radio today, about made me fall over. He characterized Leftists as immature teenagers that perceive the world as black and white, an inaccurate, rigid viewpoint that denies the existence and application of moral complexity.
He identified conservatives as mature, regarding life and people as morally complex. His example: a truth-teller can tell an occasional lie, but that does not make him a total liar as the Left would conclude.
A conservative would see him as a truth-teller, however flawed.
Prager just described moderation as virtue, and fanaticism as evil. Closely related to this immature moral outlook is emotional, ethical decision-making, not the judicious, temperate outlook of calm logic and disccernment evidenced by a sensible adult.
