Hee hee. My wife was a liberal, Carter-loving feminist reporter when we met. I was always on the reactionary wing of the Republican Party, inherited from my parents. Without the least prodding from me, she has now surpassed me to starboard, is active in pro-life causes, loves Bush and won't allow a New York Times within the walls of our home. Who says there is no such thing as progress?
"The odd thing about Armey's statement was that it displayed a fuzzy, unscientific understanding of the brain itself"
The odd thing about this statement is that it displays a fuzzy, unimaginative understanding of language. I don't think Mr. Armey literally believes feelings orginate in the heart. Those of us with a level of reading comprehension above kindergarten understand the concept of "figure of speech".
"stereotypes about liberal values: an aversion to human suffering, an unwillingness to rationalize capital punishment and military force, a fondness for candidates who like to feel our pain."
Does anyone have any doubts whatsoever about the beliefs of the writer of this article?
rm strong emotional responses to images of violence or human suffering>>
Apparently these amygdalas in leftist go inactive when viewing imagesof violence and human suffering when it comes to unborn infants.
I wonder if they realize all they did is prove what conservatives have always said--leftists are immature and primitive in their thinking. My guess is a child's amygdala works similarly. They act on gut feelings with no impulse control. So leftists are essentially on the same playing field as children. Why am I not surprised?
Bump to read later.

A case for genetic engineering ...
I wasn't aware that liberal-demokkkRATs had any measurable brain matter, to speak of. The few who I know, don't.
This is your brain after reading the New York Times editorial page.
Any questions?
Talking about feeling, etc. Leftists see themselves as victims and thrive in it. On another board I saw how the Leftists, before the Iraq war, always reminisced about the "good ole days" after 9/11 when the world supposedly loved us. Sickening.
They loved us because they thought we were "victims." They thought we'd sit cowering in a corner while we contemplated why we'd pissed off the world. When it became apparent that we we were going to fight back, and hard, that's when their love vanished. That kind of love we don't need.
Excellent!!!!!!!
Reminds me of when darling Katie Couric did a show with her having a colonoscopy 'on camera.' One astute Freeper remarked as to whether or not they found her head or not.....

Imagine if Laura Bush began appearing at Swift Boat Vets for Truth rallies!
The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct...Marcus Tullius Cicero, statesman, orator and writer (106-43 BCE)
Except the voters want to be protected and mothered. The voters want the government to take care and provide for them.
Your maxim is no longer true. What passes for reason these days is often nothing of the sort. In this postmodern paradise, truth is declared, not discovered, and reason is little more than a label to make stupidity sound better.
