Do conservatives have more fun? Should liberals start describing themselves as humor-challenged?..
why didnt the liberals in the Boston experiment like the nonsense humor of Deep Thoughts as much as the conservatives did? ... Rod Martin, the author of The Psychology of Humor, said the results of the Boston study might reflect another trait that has been shown to correlate with a taste for jokes: cheerfulness....
Conservatives tend to be happier than liberals in general, said Dr. Martin, a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario. A conservative outlook rationalizes social inequality, accepting the world as it is, and making it less of a threat to ones well-being, whereas a liberal outlook leads to dissatisfaction with the world as it is, and a sense that things need to change before one can be really happy.
Another possible explanation is that conservatives, or at least the ones in Boston, really arent the stiffs theyre made out to be by social scientists. When these scientists analyze conservatives, they can sound like Victorians describing headhunters in Borneo. They try to be objective, but its an alien culture...
The studies hailing liberals nonconformity and openness to ideas have been done by social scientists working in a culture thats remarkably homogenous politically. Democrats outnumber Republicans by at least seven to one on social science and humanities faculties,...
Could it be that the image of conservatives as humorless, dogmatic neurotics is based more on political bias than sound social science?

The excerpts above are from a long article from 2008, even from the NYT, the likes of which would be very unlikely to be allowed today since it actually says something positive about conservatives, who more than ever in America are the objects of manifest contempt by the Left.
Which is fueled from Hell, by the devil who hates what does not bow to him (not that all conservatives are true born again believers, but as a basic ideology it is antithetical to the victim-entitlement ethos of the devil and what flows from it), and who lusts to reign, and for whom the Left are hi main proxy servants in the West.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47
Though this would be of analytical interest to some.
So what happens to Obama and McCain in the bar?
Liberals are notorious conformists and resist ideas.
And insist that everyone conform to their ideas.
The bartender says, “wow! A zombie and John McCain.
I think there is a simpler explanation. Conservatives are more traditionally the rugged, independent individuals that our founders aspired all Americans to be. That character trait tends to create ambition and achievement. Folks that work hard and earn their way tend to be more confident, more charitable and happier in general. They have a sense of control in their own destiny. They do not fear the future, they aim to control it.
The average conservative psychological disposition is EXACTLY what liberals would like for ALL people to have, while being equally “poorer” as everyone else regardless of their contribution or sacrifice. This is their Utopia for the world. They want everyone to be “happy” with individual misery because it is all “equal” and “fair.”
The real problem is with the oxymoron that is, “happy with the equality of misery,” like in North Korea.
Isn’t that redundant?
Maybe that’s why leftists can’t meme, understand satire, sarcasm, off color jokes. They’re offended by everything.
Then Fauxcohontas and O-C walk into the same bar.
A lot of other people would duck, avoiding a bump on the head.
“Isnt that redundant?”
Not hardly!
A zombie and McCain walk into a bar and order zombies...
Zombie recipe:
Mix light and dark rum and brandy in a cocktail shaker, add lime juice and grenadine. Shake well and strain into a highball glass filled with cracked ice. Fill glass with orange juice but leave enough room to float the 151 on top. Garnish with a cherry and orange slice.
Well suddenly these two guys with suits and sunglasses on peek in the door and before you know it President Obama and John McCain walk in the door. Well nobody in the bar seems to notice on account of this is a bona fide redneck bar not CNN headquarters. Nobody else has no idea those two are in there.
And they set there right in front of me at the bar. And they ordered beers and commenced to arguing. It was like one of the Presidents famous beer summits right there in the Duck Inn. It was like I was being a witness to history.
These boys are throwing back long-necks John McCain keeps drawing something on a bar napkin and the President keeps shaking his head. McCain would grab another napkin write some more numbers and the President would take a gulp of beer and shake his head.
Well at that point I couldnt stand it no more so I started pretending like I was refilling the corn-nuts to get a peek at what they were writing down. But every time I got close this big dude with the sun-glasses stepped in there to keep me away. And the President and John McCain really started shouting at each other.
Finally I go what in the hell are you two fighting about before I kick your butts out of the bar!!? And John McCain holds up this napkin and he goes Im trying to show the President if we go after ISIS in Iraq we could accidentally kill ten-thousand innocent civilians and one bodaciously hot blonde with a huge rack.
And I think for a minute and I go Why do you got to kill one hot blonde with a great rack?
And McCain nudges the President and he goes See, I told you nobody would care about the civilians
McCain was arrested for aiding terrorists in a sting while Obama was rolled up as an illegal with fake SS number and ID.
McCain bellies up to the bar, and asked the bartender for a nice glass of brimstone. As he takes a bitter, burning sip, he turns around and sees Obama.
"Hey, when did you get here!" McCain exclaims.
But THAT is funny!
.
BTW: That was my gradad’s joke, can’t take credit for it.
That is not answered.
That is a clinical example of psycho eyes if there has ever been such a thing.
Mark my words, Che crazy.
