Is that on the mark?

Given that we're living through Kali Yuga, I'd say the premise is totally true and justified.

It's far easier to destroy than build, and it's obvious to all that Obama and the people who put him into office (who actually want to see the USA become another Brazil) are far better at destroying and changing than building or conserving what once made America the greatest nation ever.

"People who squirm at the sight of bugs or are grossed out by blood and guts are more likely to be politically conservative, new studies find."

Tell that to a conservative while he/she if field dressing a deer.

LOL!!!

Liberals are used to seeing squalor and bugs. It's nothing new to them. In some Third World countries they eat bugs as a part of their average diet.

Most 'conservatives' I know shoot guns at paper squares on the gun range. I'm what many would call a 'flaming liberal' and me and my other liberal friends (including two gay men) go hunting far more often than my conservative friends who don't want to get their hands dirty.

"Some conservatives think there is inherent wisdom in repugnance, that feeling disgusted about something - gay sex between consenting adults, for example - is cause enough to judge it wrong or immoral, even lacking a concrete reason, Pizarro explains. Liberals tend to disagree, and are more likely to base judgments on whether an action or a thing causes actual harm, he said. "

Interesting..

Is the goal here to say the craziest unsupported statement possible?
Or is that just your writing style?

I've got a real doozy for you, but I bet the mods would expunge it quick.

Here is my concrete reason.

Two men or two women having "sex" is wrong. Why?

#1. Male to Male sex is disgusting. One of them doesn't have a vagina so the anus is what they use.
#2. Female Female sex is equally as disgusting and must be quite frustrating if not for artificial implements.
#3. The anus is the organ which eliminates waste from the human body and harbors dangerous bacteria and is unclean.
#4. Two men having "sex" is unnatural. Opposite sexes engaging in sex is normal.
#5. XY + XY or XX + XX is an abnormal sex coupling. XY + XX is normal sex coupling.

These are my "concrete" reasons. Notice I didn't mention "religion" or "God".

Yes my workspace is always tidy and I'm a conservative.

I am not grossed out by blood or guts.
