• Weaker men more likely to support welfare state and wealth redistribution
• Link may reflect psychological traits that evolved in our ancestors
• Strength was a proxy for ability to defend or acquire resources
• There is no link between women's physical strength and political views

I used to be physically stronger when I was young, and it's true that I was a Republican then.

Now, I'm wiser and I oppose the GOP.

Our Libertarian Founding Fathers weren't exactly lacking in the intellectual department.

I'm not sure spending your entire life trying to avoid paying taxes is what I would consider a great academic pursuit.

So the article starts off with;

Researchers cite muscle-bound Hollywood action heroes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris and Sylvester Stallone as evidence that aggression is linked to conservative politics.

But no mention of guys like Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Shane Mosley, Floyd Mayweather that support left wing political views, or at least publicly endorsed the current man in the White-house.

This thread fails!!!

In addition, Emmitt Smith, Earl Campbell, Michael Vick. All are or were in the NFL and have endorsed President Obama. I would say these are strong men. Derek Jeter, a baseball player, is a strong man and he endorsed President Obama.

There were also some NFL players who endorsed Mitt Romney. No NHL players endorsed President Obama, as far as I know and a few endorsed Mitt Romney. I noticed this. Alot of Black athletes endorsed President Obama. The majority of athletes who endorsed Mitt Romney were White. There were some Hispanics that endorsed him, such as Derek Parra, Alex Rodriguez. One Black athlete endorsed Romney, Greg Anthony. NASCAR is not a sport where you need alot of physical strength, as far as I know, just endurance. No one from NASCAR endorsed President Obama. However, a few people from NASCAR endorsed Mitt Romney. There were no soccer players who endorsed Mitt Romney, but a White soccer player endorsed President Obama. I would look at alot of this individually.

Liberal fairies like the Daily Kos dude or Michael Moore make up 20% of the population. Just because someone votes for Democrats does not make them the typical liberal.

Be fair. Not one Vietcong bomber entered Texas airspace while ole GWB patrolled the skies. The enemy knew to stay several thousand miles away from GWB - that's how much of a man he is. Unlike with that wuss Kerry who blundered within enemy range not once, but several times.

Kanazawa?

In response to ongoing controversy over views such as that African countries suffer chronic poverty and illness because their people have lower IQs and that black women are "objectively less attractive" than other races, he was dismissed from writing for Psychology Today, his current employer — the London School of Economics — has prohibited him from publishing in non-peer-reviewed outlets for 12 months,[SIZE=2][4][/SIZE] and a group of 68 evolutionary psychologists issued an open letter titled "Kanazawa's bad science does not represent evolutionary psychology".

It's numbers vs. words/images, I'm telling you.


You have to account for Jesse Ventura, too. That could be a whole 'nother thread.

Is that why the numbers in Ryan's budget plan and in Romney's tax plan never added up?

If the Founding Fathers were so libertarian, then why did so many of them favor and even own slaves? Certainly, the slaves did not experience liberty. And, Thomas Jefferson (frequently cited as an example of an early libertarian), proposed making sodomy punishable by castration and imposed an embargo against the England and France, two very unlibertarian policies.
