So all the enhanced TSA/DHS actions are conservative based ?
So why aren't the libs all up in arms about it ?

From the OP link:
If the study is confirmed, it could give us the first medical explanation for why conservatives tend to be more receptive to threats of terrorism, for example, than liberals. And it may help to explain why conservatives like to plan based on the worst-case scenario, while liberals tend towards rosier outlooks.

I wonder what a medicated conservative would be?

I've said for years that i thought that the average Conservative is spineless so this is no suprise to me.

And yea...they're even MORE spineless after 8 years of the Fearmongerer-in-Chief telling them to be scared of everything under the sun. They see boogeymen around every corner.

Spineless? Odd choice of adjectives. I'd hardly call our military men and women spineless, and they happen to be overwhelmingly conservative.

This comes as no surprise, all one has to do is read the posts by the righthanders here and on other boards to see this.

Why would progressives be fearful? They think there is a neverending spigot of money to fund every social program under the sun. Progressives don't tend to be realists. Somebody has to be the parent, and thankfully there are conservatives.

I don't know that. You don't either. Overwhelming majority of military people don't even vote, just like most Americans.

Besides, i was in the military, and i'm not conservative either. Nor was i when i was on active duty.

I agree, I served and so did most of the men and some of the women in my family and none of us can be considered to be conservatives. It is a myth that was invented by the right a few years back, problem is few question it.

Wasn't it the Left that was paranoid about W and Cheney looking at their NetFlix rental records and listening to their phone calls under the Patriot Act?
