It looks like Mooney is the one with a pea-sized brain, just like all liberals

...allows liberals to justify their own closed-mindedness on the grounds that Republicans aren't even worth listening to...

There's good reason to ignore all liberal nonsense since, as everybody except liberals knows, liberalim is a mental disorder!

Left-wingers are the most intolerant, reactionary, violent and fact-averse folks around. And yes, there is definitely something wrong with their brains.

It is better to have a bad brain than no brain at all what appears to be characteristic of socialists.

His evidence includes the fact that conservatives are less likely to buy into global warming, allegedly proving they are not only "anti-science" but innately anti-fact, as well.

Somewhat refuted by over 30,000 scientists who were signatories to The Petition Project, who said the 'evidence' was neither conclusive nor the science settled, and for that reason, the US should not be signatory to Kyoto or similar accords.

It has been shown that conservatives donate more of their money, volunteer more, and give more blood. OTOH, felons are more likely to vote democrat (by about 70-30, I think). So, what are we to make of that?

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or counter-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

This "study" was obviously taxpayer funded and no doubt approved by democrats, which is why government funding of studies needs to stop. There's always an agenda when the government is involved.

Time to get back to the Constitution and strip Fedzilla down to bare bones. This Country would be great, again.

Since doctors, dentists, engineers, etc., tend to lean Republican, whereas welfare recipients, criminals and liberal arts academics tend to lean Dem, it would certainly be interesting to compare the brains. I suspect that Dems wouldn’t come out on the winning end of the comparison, though, so you can bet the results wouldn’t be published.

It should be noted that repetitive nervous system responses are much faster than brain function resposes. So of course, liberals are much better at knee jerk responses than conservatives. They have more training.

” The gist is this: Conservatives and liberals don't just have different world views or ideas, they have different brains; the right and left are just hard-wired to think differently.”

Kinda like Men and Women?

Their argument must be that liberal men think like women, i.e. queers.

Their might be some truth to that.

What does Mooney say about people who started out more liberal, like me, but gradually turned more conservative over the years? I’m sure there’s millions of present-day conservatives who’ve had similar stories. Where do we fit in? The fact is, people like me were persuaded by the facts..the exact opposite of Mooney’s screwy hypothesis that conservatives resist change and facts. I’d say it’s more likely that liberals are people who resist the facts and logic and persist in believing in fairy tales. Big government is great and can never be used for nefarious purposes. Or so the libs would have us believe.

very good! you got me - I see it each way, although I can’t get the count down as to when it changes at around 14 turns. i am openminded (able to see) to the fact that she is turning clockwise and counterclockwise at different times, but closed minded (able to define) and recognize the difference.

-does that mean the dancer is a moderate????

Just show everyone’s SAT scores. It’s as good a proxy for “intelligence” as we have, since intelligence testing became Raciss.

I see her going both ways. She's for sure "Not guilty"!

Picture the drivers side of your car, look at the wheels and picture them going forward. They are moving counter clock wise. Now picture the passenger side of your car and imaging the wheels moving forward, they are moving clock wise. Get down on hands and knees and look at all 4 at the same time and they are all moving the same way, depending on which side of the car you are on.

Look at the edge of your one story roof, it doesn't look all that high. Now stand on the edge of your roof and it looks a very long way to the ground.

If it's a 10 foot roof, from the ground, the roof is only about 4 feet from your eye level but when standing on the roof, the ground is about 16 feet from your eye level.

It's a matter of perspective.
