They love the latter and hate the former.

Franken nailed it about mommy love versus grown-up love. Especially the part about "helping your loved one grow."

It used to be that Republicans would talk about "knee jerk Liberals". It is so ironic that the unthinking automatic reflexive responders these days are the hard conservatives and the tea party sheep and the right wing authoritarian followers.
