The tendency for conservatives to think largely in terms of black and white for every single issue on the planet. Mostly a result of an absolutist religious upbringing, I believe.
An example,
Bob, a 43 year old loving father of two, with a spotless criminal record, assaults a sixteen year old girl. Everyone is shocked and puzzled. When caught, he has a nervous breakdown and is put in a mental institution. There, he undergoes various tests and scans. Doctors discover a giant tumor in the part of the brain responsible for sexual activities.
They remove it via surgery, and he's back to normal again. There's no doubt about it - from similar cases we can see that tumors in that part of the brain drive normal men crazy. What to do?

Liberal: After having considered all the evidence, I don't see any point in incarcerating him. He's not a threat. I fucking hate worthless child molesters but he clearly can't be held responsible for this. Probation should do, just in case I'm wrong. (though i doubt it)
Moderate: The science involved certainly seems to indicate that he's not responsible for this disgusting deed. Given his prior record, he doesn't seem like a threat. Still, I'm not totally convinced. A year in prison maybe? More testing, in any case.
Conservative: Why the fuck are we even talking about this? Tumors don't do anything anyway, that's just a THEORY! Has everyone lost their fucking mind, he attacked a helpless child! Stone him to death! Oh wait, I forgot that we don't live in Afghanistan or Iran. Well in that case, give 'im the lethal injection. Shit, that's not allowed for non-murderers? SHIT! I swear, liberals are bleeding this fucking country dry! DEATH TO LIBERALS!!! *waves rebel flag*
Conservative Black and White Thinking Disorder is a major problem in the US, sadly. Mostly as a result of religious faith.
For another example, see black and white thinkers.

Get the Conservative Black and White Thinking Disorder mug.Take off on an overused board room expression, only this one actually has some actual meaning. To think inside the box simply means to have your mind on sex.
Dude, that board room meeting with Hal & Tom was so boring...they kept talking about thinking outside the box all the while while I was thinking inside the box while staring at the copy girl.

When ideas or opinions are rendered that have not been completely thought through. The stance may change, reverse or stay the same depending on further thoughtfulness, discussion and openness.
The idea that torture is a good way to find information is partial thinking. When including the possibility of misinformation, moral degradation of torturer, inspiring others to be terrorist, and plummeting opinion and respect for our country then on further inspection it seems wrong.

When I can't decide what I want for dinner it helps to stare into the fridge and eat my thinking cheese.
