Hardly true. You can't generalize like that.

How do you think Obama would do in the real business world where he had to actually perform and produce?

In the same vein, how would most Educators perform?

Come on, your post is built on a premise that you don't even believe in.

Fact - survey after survey worldwide show conservatives are happier and less likely to blame others for their slips.
All you have to do is read the threads on CD. The world is always coming to an end. The blacks are going to get you, America is finished, keep your guns close, illegals are taking over, we're becoming a communist nation, evil is winning, homosexuals will destroy society, Armageddon is at hand.

It certainly isn't the liberals who are doing all the hand-wringing.

This poll has Romney up +9 if there were a rematch.

If you truly believe that Romney is a bad candidate - that is fine. However, that bad candidate owns Obama in the rematch polls - meaning that you should also realize that Obama would be a bad candidate if he had to run again. Thankfully for him, most people didn't realize how much of a liar Obama was in 2012.

Good anecdotal evidence proving that all conservatives are always afraid.

I have certainly never came across any fear mongering or anger from liberals. It is not as if Elizabeth Warren warned us in 2013 that the shutdown was going to lead to anarchy, kill children, give thousands lead poisoning, etc...

Fact you can continue to ignore -- survey after survey worldwide shows conservatives as happier and less likely to blame others for their problems.

What cares who published a "study".

Only suckers believe what is contrary to reality, because someone with a title told them to.

Probably just as good as any other lawyer. I have known a number of educators that were also business owners, so it depends on the person.

As a matter of fact, yes I did starting 50 years ago when colleges dealt more with hard, academic subjects than politically correct, social engineering.

By the way, if you were being cleverly indoctrinated/brainwashed you wouldn't have known it.

You have a hard time understanding absolutes - don't you.


Here are some tips that will help you grasp concepts better. Figure out the meaning of the following words/phrases: "tends to", all, always, and "more/less likely to."


So, do you really believe that conservatives are scared "all" the time?


Why are my surveys wrong that show that conservatives are more likely to be happy and less likely to blame others for their problems?
