In a paper published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers say there is a link between political ideology and the ability to exert self-control.

In a series of three studies with more than 300 participants, the authors found that people who identify as conservative perform better on tests of self-control than those who identify as liberal regardless of race, socioeconomic status and gender.

LOL! Wonder how much the grant money was for that investigative study. We could have answered that one knowing that it takes a lot more to get our panties wadded up than those lib assclowns.

I think it’s because we believe in personality responsibility more than the left.

It is personal responsibility and delayed gratification. Two traits that are identified with a maturing adult. Sadly, most Libs aren't very mature so they don't often exhibit these traits. I offer exhibit A: Barack Obama. ‘Nuff said.

Certainly explains Libtards’ knee-jerk reactions to a properly armed populace. They project that blood will run in the streets.
WE know that an armed society is a polite society. They “know” that trigger-happy, impulse-driven shootings will ensue if people LIKE THEM have guns.
Therefore, gun control laws should only apply to DemonRats.

A conservative asks, “What do you think about that?”

A liberal asks, “How does that make you feel?”

In debates with libs about guns I hear this all the time. “Aren’t you afraid that you/I will loose their temper and kill someone?” Something unthinkable to me. It must have been projection with one of them. Several months after our discussion his wife had him arrested for battery.

Geeez! The whole point of liberalism is the denial of consequences for poor choices and poor self control!

If we didn’t have self control, there wouldn’t be any libs.

WOW! What Would Jesus Do?

He would tell us to repent and believe in the Gospel.
