Exactly. And, if you don’t mind, I’d suggest that one of the reasons that conservatives are happier is that they tend to live their lives rather than trying to control the uncontrollable factors in life, as liberals feel the need/desire to do.
Besides, who the hell ever saw a truly happy liberal? I’ll bet that even those Democrats who “are” happy tend to be the most conservative of the bunch, like the wonderful Zell Miller.
While I agree on everything you just said, Zell Miller is as much of a liberal as Ronald Reagan was. Not even freakin’ close.
I need to get a DVD of his speech at the last GOP convention. One word - ‘spitwads’! That’s right.
I honestly believe we, the conservatives are happier because we truly enjoy being who we are. We may be rich or poor, easy going or uptight - but we’re comfortable with that. And that’s the key. Once one is ok with one self and doesn’t need the group’s approval, one’s much happier. The socialism is all about the self esteem of the person being provided by the group. It’s the epitome of the kum-ba-ya mind set.
