  It had the whiff of parody. Psychologists dissecting the conservative 
  brain? 
  
  A press release from UC Berkeley 
 
 Here's a REAL objective piece. Right from the heart of the bastion of 
 liberalism. 
 
 
  announced that researchers, culling 
  50 years of data, had identified psychological patterns common to the 
  minds of right-wingers. Their findings, published in the American 
  Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin, listed these 
  predictors of conservatism: fear, aggression, dogmatism, 
  authoritarianism, tolerance of inequality, intolerance of ambiguity, 
  resistance to change and Hardly a flattering portrait. 
 
 Let's assume for a second, that this is correct. 
Yes, let's do that! Fifty YEARS of data.....suggests that yes, indeed, 
it is correct. 
 
And when taken against the 
 apparent liberal slant, which would then conversely imply that liberals are the 
 opposite of conservatives, and let's look at these elements: 
 
 Fear. No, not fear, respect. Respect is something that liberals know little of. 
 Indeed many long standing traditions and institutions are all comoing under 
 criticism by liberals, who do not understand the need for honoring traditions. 
 
snip the crap

Provide one shred of evidence, such as fifty years worth of data, like 
the original post, that backs all of your claims about liberals.
