Political views are built upon how one is raised. We are raised either on Biblical views upon which our laws were originally based, as well as our Constitution, which was meant to govern a Christian people. Or we were not! Christ said if you weren’t for Him, you were against Him. And THAT, people, is the big problem we have today. Too many people have turned their backs on the Lord and therefore the greatest form of government ever devised in the history of the world. The Divine path is narrow. But it seems most of us prefer the broad route, where anything goes as long as we get ours! The only way we can recover the amazing gift of America is to put God back into our courtrooms,our classrooms and into our daily lives. It is, after all, up to us.

So, leftwingtards are cut out to be slaves ~ they simply view such condition a "new experience".

Conservatives look at it as a serious hazard.

Does this mean leftwingtards are not really human?

the structural differences are consistent with reports showing a greater ability of liberals to cope with conflicting information

In other words, liberals are people who are capable of believing all kinds of contradictory shit.

Conflicting information is no problem when the entire thought process is anchored in irrationality.

“Conflicting information”, I think in this case that’s a euphemism for what Orwell called “doublethink”: one can’t be a “progressive” (I still object to them stealing the name “liberal” from those of us who support free markets and liberty) without simultaneously holding contradictory beliefs.

Although I can’t question the truth of the brain scans, I do question the interpretation of the results.

If conservatives are really more responsive to fear and less open to change, it seems to me that conservatives should be the socialists and to the left, since there is nothing that speaks about assurance than a government cheque.

If liberals are really more open to change and less responsive to fear, they should be the free market party and small government because there is nothing more changing than the free market and nothing less assured than a cheque from a private company.

Sounds like a study that was tailored to fit a set of preconceptions.
