[Past Your Eyes]

Maybe you saw this thread yesterday. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1601191/posts This is a different take on it.

Where was the Barf Alert?

Nice retort to a stupid piece of garbage. From Berkeley no less!

[cripplecreek]

I think a growing number of liberals are beginning to question "their media and studies". I found one yesterday who was telling others that they should question the results of this study.

If I had lived in Berkeley effing California when I was little, I'd have whined all the time too.

As it was, I was the perfectly behaved little child ;-)

Some say I still am

[Tenacious 1]

Where did they find that many conservatives of any age in Berkley?

I would like to know who funded this trash. How much did the researchers make on it and who published the insanity.

My 5 year old could be more objective about barney than this lunatic about political attitude and tendancies.

Conservatives UNITE and Freep this WHINY LIBERAL'S cartoon polls.

And the liberals grew up to be whiny kids...

[drpix]

For the simple explanation, ask yourselves: Who said which kids were whiny & insecure? Berkeley teachers! When would a Berkeley teacher consider a 3-4 year old "whiny" & "insecure"? When the kid...

- won't put a condom on his/her banana (and in the 60s then smoke it)
- won't play with dolls if male or with trucks if female
- won't dress and pray as a Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist

And I'm sure I missed many more!

one only needs to read the headlines of any major liberal news paper to know this study is total fabrication. Who are the lefts hero's .... Cindy Shehan (one of the all time greatest Whiners), Michael Moore (Makes his living by whining. He's so bad, that if he can't find facts to prove his point he makes them up), his audiences (goes without saying), Hillery, Harry Reid, etc.....

Who was it in Hitlers organization that said ..."Tell a Lie long enough and they will believe it to be true"? The entire left wing of the Democratic party lives by that creed, whining at every opportunity

[RedRepublic]

The confident kids turned out liberal

I'm going to puke. This is the most absurd thing I ever heard. We all know in the real life who's the whinner.

[N. Theknow]

If whiners become conservatives, then obviously they get it out of their systems before adulthood. In other words, they grow up.

Liberals never get over it and never grow up. They just start whining that government should take over for their parents and give them everything.

[JohnLongIsland]

your tax dollars at work ladies and gentlemen.

[Echo Talon]

I can say this study is total and utter BS, I was a horrible kid and a bully type from grade school thru HS! LOL I grew up when I was about 21.

[WideGlide]

"The confident kids turned out liberal and were still hanging loose, turning into bright, non-conforming adults with wide interests. The girls were still outgoing..."

ROFL outgoing! And if you don't believe her she'll kick your a$$. (:^D)

[roofgoat]

I love when academia uses the term "tradional gender roles". How sick they have become.

[keithtoo]

Go to the comments section at the end of the article and put your two cents in. I did.

[camle]

two comments:

1) methinks they got the results mixed up since the liberals are the ones whining and insecure.

2) "if you're 20 and not a liberal, you have no heart, if you're 40 and not conservative, you have no brain" - Chuchill

[Millicent_Hornswaggle]

"The whiny kids tended to grow up conservative, and turned into rigid young adults who hewed closely to traditional gender roles and were uncomfortable with ambiguity.

"The confident kids turned out liberal and were still hanging loose, turning into bright, non-conforming adults with wide interests. The girls were still outgoing, but the young men tended to turn a little introspective."

I DON'T HAVE TO READ ANYMORE TO KNOW THIS WAS WRITTEN BY AND IDIOT!

[Savage Beast]

More mindless pseudoscience from the Left. Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwnnn.

NPR? What did you expect?
