Now, this story is interesting: http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2012/01/physiology-and-politics It's about a study of the physiological differences between conservatives and liberals. Why, you sick, dirty little @#$%^&*(!
The needed a study to tell them this? WTF!!! They could have just asked me. It certainly explains their love of guns. AS THOSE who follow American politics know all too well, Republicans and Democrats sometimes act as if they belonged to different species. This, it seems, is more than mere metaphor. A growing body of research is shedding light on ways in which partisans are indeed biologically distinct. According to one famous study, conservatives are not just more god-fearing than liberals (as Americans call left-leaning folk). They are more fearful in general, making them more receptive to threatening aspects of the environment. Hence, the argument goes, their penchant for tougher policing, harsher sentencing, stronger armed forces and other Republican shibboleths.
The conservatives I personally know are the most energetic, hard working people I've ever met. The problem is, if Mexicans are brought into the conversation, they immediately rant about how 'fat and lazy Mexicans' are. Any respect I have for them for their work ethic is tempered by that idiocy.
lol..."We are not amused!" That was supposed to be in the "Queen's English"...to which, this explanation will probably not amuse De Orc. Sorry, bub.
To paraphrase a quote I like... “The Republican complains about the wind not being right; the Democrat is sure he can change the wind and make it better; the Moderate just adjusts the sails.”
