American Affairs Journal has published an interesting essay looking at what the author calls the “well-being gap.” Essentially this is the idea, which is apparently fairly well known among social scientists, that conservatives tend to be happier in general while liberals are more likely to be depressed.
Author Musa al-Gharbi is a sociologist at Columbia University and he starts with a topic that I’ve raised several times recently: The fact that liberal teens are struggling with mental health much more than conservative teens, especially over the last decade.

Modern liberals are indistinguishable from leftists. They are anythign but liberal (in the classical sense.)
In my dictionary, LIEberal = leftist.
They LIE, and they certainly do not adhere to classical liberal “theology,” as you and the Grumpy Old Man point out.
OOPS!
Sorry about that! Hastemakes waste - I thought I was responding to TPBs post.
Conservatives think about “how do I keep/preserve what I built” and leftists think about “how can I make others pay for what I want?”
I worked for a die hard lib once. She had a constant scowl on her face. Never smiled or laughed at anyone’s jokes. She had no idea how to manage problems or people. Part of her position was to interact well in the community and be a leader of sorts. Instead she was an activist that went against the grain all the time.
Libs are never happy.
He lost a lot of credibility right there.
If someone can be "born gay," then why can't someone be "born conservative," too?
That would make it a hate crime to say bad things about conservatives just because they were born that way.

Been like that since the 1950s at least. See tagline.
