AND PEOPLE PAY TO GO HERE...

I have always told my friends at work that they know I’m going to say something important or at least important to me when I start off by saying, “So, …”

So, I have found one of the most liberally biased pieces of clap-trap passed off as “news” I have ever seen. Our friends at the University of California at Berkeley have discovered what makes a conservative. Studying that strangest of all animals, our intrepid sociologists have surmised that some of the psychological factors that make a political conservative are:

- fear and aggression
- terror management.

Check out this quote:

“Concerns with fear and threat, likewise, can be linked to a second key dimension of conservatism - an endorsement of inequality, a view reflected in the Indian caste system, South African apartheid and the conservative, segregationist politics of the late Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-South S.C.).”

Oh, we’re racists. I was confused by our support of Ward Connerly and the liberals unholy love of affirmative action.

Then there is this:

“Disparate conservatives share a resistance to change and acceptance of inequality, the authors said. Hitler, Mussolini, and former President Ronald Reagan were individuals, but all were right-wing conservatives because they preached a return to an idealized past and condoned inequality in some form. Talk host Rush Limbaugh can be described the same way.”

So Rush and President Reagan are just like Hitler and Mussolini. You know, people like Al Franken, Al Sharpton, Major Owens and Tim Robbins have been telling me this for years. I always thought they were just out of their minds.

Finally, we get this:

"In many cases, including mass politics, 'liberal' traits may be liabilities, and being intolerant of ambiguity, high on the need for closure, or low in cognitive complexity might be associated with such generally valued characteristics as personal commitment and unwavering loyalty," the researchers wrote.

Oh, loyalty and commitment are really just by-products of an unenlightened person with "low cognitive complexity". Translation: ignorant morons.

I don’t think there is a greater example of liberal elitism. There is nothing else I can add to this, they didn’t wait for us to give them enough rope to hang themselves, they grabbed it out of our hands and tied the noose themselves.
