A lot of this flows from that good old time religion. But it also is a personality trait. Every action has to be thought out. So congenital conservatives get to finish high school, and college, and grad school if they want, and aren't frequent visitors at the student health clinic or unplanned parenthood. Life is easy.
Congenital conservatives are pack rats.
Stamp and coin collectors voted for Ronald Reagan. The house of the right winger is a fire trap. Conservative computers run slower because their operators can't bring themselves to dump extraneous data and programs from the hard drive. You can get into good arguments with conservatively educated people. That's because they are taught how to think, not what to think.
