it’s more than psychobabble- the show ‘brain games’ did an experiment with people on the street once, where they would hold up two photos of obscure, unknown politicians who ran for office, one a winner, the other didn’t win- and asked the people to guess which one won
The results were very surprising, because it showed that looks do matter- in all cases, the people chose the correct winner based on nothing more than how the person looked-
The point was that the participants pretty much echoed how the voting public actually voted- they chose the better looking people, the people with the better smile, or better hair, or who dressed better- etc=- every time practically
Sadly that’s all that really matters to many people- how someone looks-
Except how do you know that they used a representative sample of elections?
I’m not saying there is nothing to it, but the left wants to do quite a few things, including declaring conservatives unfit adults, and they want “scientists” to do that.
Every now and then I see something from the left saying that they need psychology to reveal the pathology of Bible-believing Christianity and conservatism.
Maybe they can’t get that in one fell swoop, but these sorts of hit pieces will do just fine.
Really, there is no words to describe the lack of integrity and justness by the left.
How many Democratic politicians could similar “scientific” analyses be launched against?
The left will never do THAT, though.
The entire point of this “analysis” is to attack Bible-believing Christians and conservatives.
It is sheer politics, no matter what this lying doctor says.
It’s the left elevating personal opinions to objective status in order to advance their agenda while disingenuously denying they’re either one.
While this doctor says he’s “not a Democrat,” I believe he’s intentionally not being fully forthcoming. He didn’t say he was a Republican, did he? He might be:
A very moderate Republican who is practically a Democrat.
Unregistered, but votes Democrat.
Registered to a third party. Perhaps he’s even a Socialist.
A registered Democrat despite what he says.
He wrote this not to write an article on neurology, but to smear Bible-believing Christians.
I’m sure this can be seen in the reaction of the left. I also saw this article on Mediaite. The liberals commenting on this have the predictable reaction: the man is doctor and is just using objective science.
