Great for Berkeley. However, this report was written by 4 left-wing
liberals from Berkeley's Graduate School of Education "Psychology"
Program...which ranks 45th in the nation by the way.

Here's how Berkeley describes the graduate "Psychology" program:

Established in 1965, the program has prepared students for employment in
public schools, universities, mental health clinics, and a variety of work
settings


"Public schools, universities, and mental health clinics", eh? I guess it's
true...those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.

Ranks 45th in what way? Number of students enrolled? Percentage of
successful job placements? Did they compare it to schools whose purpose is
equivalent? Some psych programs are primarily aimed at clinical
specializations. Others focus more on research. Who ranked Berkeley?

Stolen from the internet:


A Frank Study on What Makes a Political Liberal
You've probably heard about the Berkeley study done with your tax dollars on
what makes a political conservative. Here are the factors they identified:

* Fear and aggression
* Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity
* Uncertainty avoidance
* Need for cognitive closure
* Terror management

Funny enough, I had been doing my own study about what makes a political
liberal. I think mine was much more efficient, because I traced it to a
single factor:

* They're f'ing morons

As evidence of this finding, just listen to any liberal. Ever read anything
from Noam Chomsky? What a dumbass. Ever seen an article in The Nation? You
can almost imagine the drool stains on the original copy of whomever wrote
it. Heard Michael Moore speak? Than man is fat and ugly! While that doesn't
prove or disprove my theory, he's also a nitwit, which goes with my
findings.

And ever see a bunch of liberals get together for a protest? It's like a
whole gaggle of retards! You almost expect, that with that much stupidity in
one area, it will collapse upon itself and from a logic black hole, sucking
in all sense that gets near it.

And then there is liberal Hollywood where people are about as dumb as you
can be without forgetting to breathe. It's like that to get into Hollywood
you need to take an intelligence test, and they'll only let you in if it
comes up negative.

Then there are liberal congressmen and women. I've seen them argue on
C-SPAN, and they're so moronic I want to hit them with rocks (there's that
aggression).

Well, I think my study was pretty thorough on what makes a liberal, but what
I really want to find is how to cure it. Liberals seems to protect their
idiocy by forming some sort of force field of pure stupidity, a force field
so strong that logic can't penetrate it. What can penetrate it, though, is a
large stick. Such an item is known to the scientific community as a "whomp'n
stick".

What I want to find out is if by whomp'n a liberal whenever he says
something stupid, can I train him away from liberalism through pure pain
avoidance. My theory is that it will cause conservatism as defined by the
Berkeley study:

* Fear and aggression - Fear of a whomp'n
* Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity - "Are you going to whomp me or
not?"
* Uncertainty avoidance - "I'll stay quiet so I don't get whomped."
* Need for cognitive closure - "Someone patch up this head wound."
* Terror management - "I'll crouch in the corner and be quiet so the scary
man doesn't whomp me."

So there is the study: will a group of liberal who gets whomped have more
converts to conservatism than a control group with no whomp'n.

Ahh... screw the control group; I'm going to whomp 'em both.

Now all I need is millions in a government grant and a stick fit for
whomp'n.

Oh, and I'll need liberal volunteers. The Berkeley scientists from the
previous study are sure free to help out in this one.

WHOMP! WHOMP!

Feeble retort to many man years of honest work. Figures your hero's "cure"
for liberals is violence. These days it seems conservatives are finding
violence to be the tool they resort to most frequently.

Hurts their brains to do any of that deep thinking or have any manner of
patience, it's simpler to just kick some ass and figure out what happened
later. Meanwhile, 250 of our kids and countless innocents have paid for it
with their lives.

F'ing idiots.

No, don't be a baffoon, 9-11 was not GWB's fault, and he did do the right
thing. Look at the situation in Canada, Ontario where all the liberals and
NDP who were bought out by the teachers and the strikes that damaged many
students year. A Conservative leader arose and cleaned up years of messes
that the liberals created. There were high percentages of students
graduating high school who couldn't even read or write. These students then
went on to university where international students who also didn't know
proper english crushed them in grade scoring. The universities had to tweak
down their delivery of material (remove some hard stuff) because the Asian
students are near twice as smart as domestic. Let the liberals continue
leading the country and guess who will own the west (they already own
growing percentages of Canada and add more economic and tangible benefit
than any other ethnic group). I for one welcome them and realize that we
need them. But I believe the liberals and especially the far left are
responsible for the west's low grade teachers, poor economy, inability to
compete globally, huge debts.

Bush was captain of the ship of state at the time of 9-11. He is
responsible.

As for "doing the right thing," Bush is clueless.

Nice deducing there John. Compare PhDs putting man years of work into
original research, compilation, theory and conclusion and compare that to a
****ing moron who thinks beating liberals up is the answer.

That says more about your utter blindness than perhaps anything I've heard
from you. What happened to the scientific method (perhaps you should try
refuting the research and conclusions) and how could you possibly endorse
people who're promoting violence?

More simple answers for simple people. You're just the kind of fool those
PhDs are writing about.
