Libturds -- like Moyers -- have a hard time working up a rage. Hell, given their normal posture (depicted below), most of them can hardly BREATHE!
White gun owners more likely to be racists: study "................................Citing results that show attitudes among white people toward guns appear to be influenced by “illogical racial biases,” the study’s authors suggest that gun-control policies might need to be implemented “independent of public opinion.”
How hard is it to come up with the logic that if you make a dollar and spend three that you have a spending problem.
Where is the problem in understanding that?
Better dead than red. The left is so stupid.
Laying the groundwork for Soviet-style “You don’t agree with the regime? Then you must be crazy. Off to a mental institution with you.”
How about this to explain Tea Party “rage”:
we’re tired of being stolen from. Period.
I will refrain from what I was going to say about this Nazi propaganda.
Libturds -- like Moyers -- have a hard time working up a rage. Hell, given their normal posture (depicted below), most of them can hardly BREATHE!
Here is my absolutely free, concise and irrefutable study...
Tea Party Rage is explained by accepting that its members are informed citizens of average or higher intelligence.
Duh, libs can find much about W to like. The only good thing I can say about Obama is he appears to love his children.
Only skimmed this nonsense but I got a got a good chuckle from their ascribing authoritarian personalities to tea party members. Which of course is opposite case.
I hate to give them fodder. But rage is such a tame, pedestrian word
to describe what I feel toward the POSOTUS and his minions.
Just sayin’.
"People like us tend to be more understanding and caring, according to the latest research conducted by people like us. We also tend to be smarter. People like them are just angry all the time, like the stupid people who are angry that their tax dollars helped fund our valuable super smart and excellent study. They're always angry about things that are good and excellent, you know, the stuff we do. See how stupid people like them are? This study proves it!"
Liberal: “You’re Phsycotic!”
Conservative: “Oh, yeah? You’re crazier than a loon!”
Scientist: “Hmm, upon scientific study, there’s a real difference in thinking here!”
Liberal and Conservative: “Scientists are idiots!”
Scientist: “Oops, maybe not?”
Mooney: Again, this is an area where liberals and libertarians differ from conservatives markedly. Liberals and libertarians aren’t particularly tribal in the sense of having loyalty to their group, and they aren’t particularly authoritarian in the sense of thinking you have to follow a strong leader.
Did Mooney sleep through the 2008 and 2012 elections? The Dems did everything but have torchlit parades in honor of Obama.
nice that they have the conclusion right there in the title! that sure saves time.
How about a study to explain liberal idiocy?
NEW YORK—Bill Moyers has apologized to former U.S. Interior Secretary James Watt for referencing a quote, which has been wrongly attributed to Watt for years, during a speech Moyers gave last December upon receiving an award from Harvard Medical School. The text of the speech has since appeared in several newspapers and on numerous Web sites.
“I said I had made a mistake in quoting him without checking with him,” Moyers told E&P today. “I should have done my homework.”
Moyers, a well-known journalist and recently departed host of NOW on PBS, said he phoned Watt yesterday and faxed him a letter stating his regrets. Moyers wrongly referred to Watt during a speech in New York on Dec. 1, after Moyers received an award from Harvard's Center for Health and the Global Environment.
During the speech, Moyers said, “Remember James Watt, President Ronald Reagan's first secretary of the interior? My favorite online environmental journal, the ever-engaging Grist, reminded us recently of how Watt told the U.S. Congress that protecting natural resources was unimportant in light of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. In public testimony he said, ‘after the last tree is felled, Christ will come back’.”
They always start with the assumption that liberals have the “correct” point of view and go from there. I love how they think conservatives are the authoritarians and liberals are independent thinkers who don’t have “leaders.” (Unlike conservatives who all get their views from Fox and Rush). The one thing I agreed with is that conservatives have a lower tolerance for that which disgusts them.
Is there an executive summary? That article gives me a headache. All I can think of when reading the intro to the interview is how utterly wrong the premise is: “The Republican Brain: the Science of Why They Deny Science – and Reality”
The lefties are the ones denying science! As RR once said, you can’t reason somebody out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into. Labeling people as imbeciles or insane worked well for their heroes like Hitler and Stalin, too.
So what we have here is Bill Moyers & Company, a journalist working for Mother Jones, brought to us via Salon, all rolled up into one hopelessly earnest, brow-furrowing orgy of amateur psychiatry as rife with projection as a disco glitter-ball. Good grief, the cast alone is worth a giggle.
We are informed by this liberal clown car that opposing a fellow who wants to impose socialist medicine on a country by pure political bludgeoning, forcibly suppresses dissent, locks the citizens out of facilities they've paid for any time he damn well pleases, collects private communications, financial transactions, health and other personal data on every citizen and places it into a central repository to be exploited for political advantage, abuses his control of federal tax authority against anyone who might be organizing dissent; in short, to oppose this arrogant, lying, despicable, autocratic wretch is "authoritarian", and their own unmistakable tendency toward fawning, boot-licking, and fainting in ecstasy every time Dear Leader throws an imperial glance in their direction is somehow "independent".
Speaking the English language to these people is useless because there is no common vocabulary. The basic disconnect is not an insensitivity to suffering as posited here but a conviction that it is not the government's function to address it; that, in fact, the government tends to increase suffering rather than ameliorate it. This is really not difficult.
Give it up, folks. There is no mental pathology here for you to work into that ridiculous set of false premises and hysterical appeals to emotion over reason that constitutes the liberal worldview. You get to choose truth or narrative, and you've chosen narrative. We're not ever going to come to any agreement. We're not even going to have a meaningful dialogue. For evidence of the latter I point to the article above. You simply can't make that fit intelligent discourse.
