This whole notion conservatives like things the way they are so they must be happier/

Do conservatives really not want to change things?

Because they were taught to hate themselves.

At the end of the day if it makes you happy to think that 'those' people aren't as happy. Be happy but just know -- I'm happy for you.

AS I said -- I hope people are as happy as Iam or even more. Do I wish less happiness on them or think they are less happy because they don't always agree with my views...no of course not -- I'm too busy being happy to rob them of their happiness.

You mean like the conservatives who go hard (no pun intended) for anti-gay legislation only to be caught one day in a hotel with another man?

A whole lot of self-hate amongst the Repubs here.

Yeah if you're a white liberal, you have to hate yourself and your family not to mention your country.

Where have you been? Many white conservatives hate their country too. Quiet as it’s kept here anarchy is a big element of far right groups.

Take a look at this guy. He’s the complete opposite of a liberal. Does this seem like a man that loves his country?

White conservative who loves his country

Dennis Prager focuses a lot on happiness and frequently goes into why the Left isn't happy. The second hour of his Friday (iirc) show is titled the Happiness Hour. Highly recommended.

Maybe the world around you doesn't share your definition of "better"...

In today's world, I truly do not think that most adults are happy. Conservatives are unhappy because they see the world they valued crumbling around them, and the liberals are unhappy because that world is not crumbling fast enough to suit them.
