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