2. Their entire purpose seems to be to stand in the way of liberty, justice, peace and love.

4. "Conservatives" are unfortunately Born that way.. it isn't a Choice, they lack 'Fluidity in their
thinking, QUITE POSSABLY because of Organic physical deficiencies in essential cognitive structures of the brain.

my personal view of this subject..if we cant legislate out the Phenomenological IRON LAW OF OLIGARCHY http://bitbucket.icaap.org/dict.pl?term=IRON%20LAW%20OF , then we must consider that.. they need to be put in walled Reservations and prevented from breeding, its the only way to humanely deal with them. we are all Doomed if they are left to continue to FUCK everything up and profit from it,they are obsessive compulsive sociopaths and some psychopathic and all out of control." :shrug:

"snip....Data analysis shows that liberals are about 5 times as likely as conservatives to show brain activity in the areas of the brain related to detecting conflicts between habitual tendency and a more appropriate response. Liberals are also more than twice as likely to score in the top half of the distribution for accuracy.Simply put, liberals tend to think much more than conservatives before acting, whereas conservatives tend to be much more habitual and conforming to established traditions...snip"

"Frank J. Sulloway, a researcher at UC Berkeley's Institute of Personality and Social Research who was not connected to the study, said the results "provided an elegant demonstration that individual differences on a conservative-liberal dimension are strongly related to brain activity."

Analyzing the data, Sulloway said liberals were 4.9 times as likely as conservatives to show activity in the brain circuits that deal with conflicts, and 2.2 times as likely to score in the top half of the distribution for accuracy.

notice the difference in substance of the articles

6. It's True. Jack Nicholson has a simple but profound line in "Chinatown":
"When you're right, you're right. And you're right."
-- Robert Towne, Chinatown

7. I tend to see it more as a "sound of one hand clapping" thing
I think we need the right as well as the left -- but that said, something has gone seriously wrong on what passes today as the right.

If the right merely consisted of people of a conservative temperament, it would serve the useful functions of skeptic, devil's advocate, or counter-balance to the more hare-brained schemes of the left.

Unfortunately, there's also the matter of class warfare -- and the right has always been dominated by the people of great wealth and the corporations, rather than the sturdy, non-nonsense, rock-ribbed small town types we might hope for.

The CIA also figures heavily in the history of the right -- particularly from the 1950's to the 1970's -- and helped introduce a certain unscrupulousness and the sense that liberals were no different from communists and it was fine to rig elections, smear reputations, and do anything else that was handy to keep them out of power.

So it might be desirable to get rid of the current crop of right-wingers -- but if we do, we're going to have to haul out the hydroponic tanks and start breeding a superior and less toxic strain of right-wingers to replace them.

8. It's okay. I feel the same way about...
...white people sometimes. I get past it. Otherwise, I'd go nuts. There are too many of them, and lots of them are good people. I've even got some in my family and in my circle of friends.

Rightwingers have done a lot to promote adoption lately.
They frequently reach out to the poor, through churches, with food and clothing.
The Catholic charities often provide schooling and day care, to anyone.
Many churches open their doors to a variety of non-profit organizations from Girl Scouts to Alcoholics Anonymous.
Many churches sponsor after school programs that give kids something to do besides go out and cause trouble.
Rightwing groups have started organizations dedicated to helping people deal with marital conflicts. Marriage Encounters. It's not a bad thing at all.

Good can be found just about anywhere if you look for it.
