Are you prone to fear and aggression? Resistant to change? Intolerant of ambiguity? If so, you have the mind-set to be a political conservative, according to a recently published study in the American Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin.

Four researchers from Berkeley, Stanford and the University of Maryland sorted through decades of speeches, court opinions and field studies to see what motivates that strange species known as the conservative. They found, according to a release from Berkeley's press office, "Disparate conservatives share a resistance to change and acceptance of inequality."

I have conducted similar research concerning liberals for nearly 40 years and have found the following motivates liberals: Killing babies, defending murderers and rapists, and sticking their penis in the rectum of other males.

People still talk about how, in 1997, Cornell Review writers "translated" the Africana Studies course offerings into Ebonics. Left-wing thugs burned copies of the paper.

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

Maybe the old parody's got a nugget of political truth:

"Far above Cayuga's waters
Rises such a smell,
Some say it's Cayuga's waters,
We say it's Cornell."

...universities have become so devoid of political conservatives that researchers now study them like Margaret Mead observed the Samoans.

An apt comparison in more ways than one!

Welcome to the forum! Who needs research when liberals are shoving abortion and homosexuality down our throats every chance they get?

Wow, i am so flattered. You created a screen name to honor me. BTW, I would place my 40 years of research against this crap from Berkley any day of the week.

BTW, anyone who places Reagan's name with Hitler in the same sentence and claim to have no political agenda are f-ing liars. Of course, liberals always lie about their political agenda, which is one of the many facts in my 40 years of research on the subject.
