Correct, fear should be based on the facts of the situation not speculation or wild accusations that have no relationship to the known facts.

So that brings us back to the fact presented by Liberals themselves that part of their brains are less developed.
The real question isn't whether Conservatives are more afraid but whether Progressives have the cognizance due to their lesser developed brains to recognize a real threat.
Yep...it's been taken as gospel for so long that people just automatically believe it. It's complete nonsense. When i see Obama with the troops, they don't look too unhappy to me. That's not to say they all vote for him, but he's certainly popular with a large segment of them.
Yes, I bet they just LOVE that Obama is keeping them tere for 2 more years. And maybe the military doesn't vote as much because the democrats can't seem to get them their ballots in time. Hmmm, wonder what the dems are afraid of?
So let's just throw out every bit of scientific evidence? BTW, Obama hasn't started two wars based on fear (and no evidence). The comparison really fails.
You do REALIZE that the DEms started the WMD when Clinton was in office dont you?

Then it could also be argued that the brains of conservatives are defective too. Making too many decisions based on fear is not a good thing. Perhaps it is moderates who have the best-developed brains.

It could be argued that humans in general are defective but as a general rule of anthropology, those with larger and more developed brains are considered more advanced.
I'll be honest here. I think it's more junk science. People change sides all the time yet brains are not noted for shrinking and expanding. The whole premise is flawed. But the fact that some lib presented some pseudoscience claiming their superiority due to an underdeveloped brain part was simply priceless. You can speculate all you want but the fact is that folks on your team are bragging about lesser developed brains.
Study: Conservatives have larger ‘fear center’ in brain
A study at University College London in the UK has found that conservatives' brains have larger amygdalas than the brains of liberals. Amygdalas are responsible for fear and other "primitive" emotions. At the same time, conservatives' brains were also found to have a smaller anterior cingulate -- the part of the brain responsible for courage and optimism.
