Gee...Berkeley kids being studied by Berkeley shrinks. There certainly couldn't be any overt (or covert) bias involved here,could there?

Only a ball-less little girlie-dweeb would spend so much time, effort and energy, trying to convince the world that he is not a ball-less little girlie-dweeb.

This is really funny!

Actually, this is a quadruplicate post:

Um, I think they have this reversed.

Whiny kids grow up to be whiny adults and that IS WHAT LIBERALS ARE _ WHINEY KIDS.

Self control and discipline is the stuff conservatives are made of - and by definition that does NOT include "whining". What can I say? Liberals are ILLOGICAL and operate SOLEY ON WHINY EMOTIONS!

[...Article is total 100% pure BS...]

Completely agree. But then it's Berkeley. They are academics. They know EVERYTHING. We just wait to here from Zion.

Is it really conservative to put your kid in a nursery school anyway?

Now you've done it. ; )

Well, I guess the three year olds who were whining for their moms were actually supporting traditional family values, while the non-whiner was used to being nannied by the establishment.

This whole thing is garbage!

[fhlh]

all one must do to debunk this BS is to take a gander at the posts at DU...

I just wonder... Does the fact that their sampling came from babies who drank from Mothers who drank the Berkeley Koolaid have anything to do with the outcome of this survey?

[Jo Nuvark]

Sorry about the dupe. I searched for it before I posted. Used "Whiney" & "Babies".

[papertyger]

This study must have been done in Hollywood, where tough guys run away from fights, and liberal women are smart and beautiful at the same time.

If I was a conservative kid that attended public school near Socialist Pinko, Environmental Wacko Berkley:

I could see myself whining about all the criminals, pedophiles, dope addicts, homo's, and felons I am surrounded by, as well as the never ending liberal indoctrination I am being exposed to, by tenured child molesters and teachers in drag....


I would also feel very insecure around all the criminals, pedophiles, dope addicts, homo's, felons, child molesters, and teachers in drag that I am surrounded by in public school...

I would also think that all the criminals, pedophiles, dope addicts, homo's, and felons I am surrounded by were out to get me, and rightly so!

And with God and Parents banned from the school, in despair I would certainly turn to the teacher or administrator for help when the criminals, pedophiles, dope addicts, homo's, and felons I am surrounded by tried to hurt me.

Being married to a psychologist and a psychiatrist for a total of 25 years doesn't actually qualify me as an expert on this subject, but I can tell you that I have specifically heard these two women and their colleagues speak exactly the opposite and more than once.

As if the liberal researchers would know how to spot proper child development when they saw it.

[Jo Nuvark]

Someone should study whether liberalism affects Mother's
Milk. (Only if Mom drinks the Koolaid, then it sucks.)

[papertyger]

Hes not, I'm 18 and I have several friends in the military who are also 18 and are very conservative and if you called them whiny and not self-confident youd be likely to get a five finger sandwhich!

Oh quit yer whinin' Mr. Sissypants. Buck up and watch some Opra; that'll make a man outta ya!

And don't dis the Doctor!...Phil, that is ;o)

[Little Ray]

Lemme see. I'm a conservative toddler. I wanna play with toy soldiers - but they've cut off the guns and otherwise mutilated 'em. I wanna play with toy guns - but they're not allowed. I make a toy gun out of blocks, or tinker toys and they take it away and scold me. I make my own model of Fallujah and bomb it (with other blocks) and I'm scolded again.
Just about anything interestin' and energetic I do will get me scolded. Oh, well.
Yeah. Like I'm gonna be happy kid there and preschool center ANYWHERE today.

If I were a kid today, I'd be expelled (doodling bloody battle scenes, drawing imaginary high-tech firearms, etc.) and drugged. No way would I be happy.

[manwiththehands]

95 kids from the Berkley area. Wow. How did they find all the time and money to track so many subjects? And the most "anal" and rigid people I've ever met were also the most liberal. I can't believe any newspaper would print this story.

[HEY4QDEMS]

So what, OK so conservatives were whiney kids, and liberals are whiney adults.

All this study tells me is that conservatives grow up and liberals don't.

Block admits in his paper that liberal Berkeley is not representative of the whole country. But within his sample, he says, the results hold. He reasons that insecure kids look for the reassurance provided by tradition and authority, and find it in conservative politics. The more confident kids are eager to explore alternatives to the way things are, and find liberal politics more congenial.

And yet, it's the liberals who want the safety of the Nanny State and the conservatives who want to tough it out without government interference. It's the liberals who are now running to "Daddy Government" and telling on those who hurt their feelings (sexual harassment, hate crimes, Rainbow zones in schools...) and want them PUNNISHED.
