Another study confirming the previous:

Is Political Conservatism a Mild Form of Insanity? | Psychology Today

It explains why some people say what they do.
Conservatives are more self reliant.
They believe in balancing budgets and not destroying a nation.
They do have intolerance for lazy people and those dependent on government for generations.
They are also intolerant of bribes by government employees to grow their unions, over pay them and to give them retirements like millionaires on OUR TAX dollar.

Obviously these articles are left wing everything.
Shows you why we need to get rid of the left wing in politics, they have no reality based way of governing.

You are bad at backing up your claims.

He proved his hypothesis about as well as your "study" proved yours and it only took him 6 lines. That's efficiency, another thing we believe in.

Wonder how long before this reaches my grade schooler's public school text book as honest-to-goodness, not to be disputed, PEER REVIEWED study, FACT?
Great example! Thanks!

(great example of the study's conclusion, that is)

Here's a tip for you. Don't believe everything that you read.
You cannot compare a protest that lasts just a few hours to protests that involve weeks of outdoor occupation under all kinds of conditions. Funny that you only notice the liberal "insanity" and completely fail to mention the utter dementia of the Tea Party participants of which there are thousands of examples. Protest, regardless of ideology, will attract extremists. Or are conservatives too far gone to form that simple but staid conclusion and can only comfortably find fault in their opposite?

Lol, the OP clearly didn't read either link. So to summarize for him. The first link debunked the silly study, and the second link used for its conclusions the study discredited in the first link. I think the conclusion that can be drawn from this is , lefties are a wee bit nuts.
