The study is a joke and to prove it, notice how little conservatives and the media will actually pay attention to this..very little but if and when the tables get turned watch the "progressives" and the media go absolutely crazy.

What's even more amusing is that most all modern scientific advancements have come from what would be known as "conservative" institutions with "progressive" and "conservative" personalities under a conservative management model.
US Military
NASA
IBM
Bell Labs and so on..

Not much innovation and world changing technology poring out of Greenwich Village, Seattle or San Francisco??

Oh yea....and "progressive" Bill Gates ripped off "conservative" Xerox.

HuffPo's trolls have conducted their own study and concluded that:

1. Their sloped foreheads exhibit improved aerodynamics and better acceleration when driven into a block wall.

2. Their pointy heads prove they're "sharp".

Proof:

Conservative, "Stay the course".


Liberal, "Move on".

I notice you guys keep calling Bush and the GOP conservative. Reagan wasn't conservative either. It's not conservative to run up huge debts while cutting taxes (revenue). That's insane voodoo economics, not conservative.

Best part of this article is the researcher's half-hearted attempt to qualify the finding that conservatives are incapable of processing complexity: "The tendency of conservatives to block distracting information could be a good thing depending on the situation."

Translation: It's important to stay focused and finish reading "My Pet Goat" despite the country being attacked by lunatics.

Pretty good comedy. The simple answer is Fear & Hope. That's how people these day process things. They don't do because they fear...... They do things in the hope off.......

This was absolutely fabulous. At my first read, I died with laughter and self-amusement but it deserved a second read (would a Conservative read something twice? hell some probably wouldn't read it once.) to really catch the nuances of the neurological study. Now when I actually say Tucker Carlson a moron, it isn't just a matter of opinion, there's a neurological basis to the assertion. That liberals are more accurate (2.2x) and more flexible (4.9x) than conservatives is self-evident. To begin with, we as opposed to they live in a fact-filled world not one of their own delusional creation and then since we liberals recognize that circumstances and thus facts do change we can adjust accordingly. Take the gay issue, as science explores what makes a person gay might have a genetic or in-utero hormonal component, liberal positions have evolved. To a conservative, being is a choice made by an immoral person and since their ultimate source of all wisdom describes it as an abomination it is always so with them. On Iraq, the Democrats have a willingness to work with the Republicans yet the Bush Administration it alone is right and has all the relevant information. If it weren't for the fact that conservatives do breed, they would be an evolutionary dead-end.

No one should lean too far right or too far left. Somewhere is the middle slightly leaning left seems best. This way you can see all perspectives about people's belief systems in a deeper way. Most all politicians suck anyway, right or left. It's a game of fakenss and eventual broken promises. However, I like liberals better because they just seem cooler and smarter.

Pretty much goes hand in hand with this study:

50 YEAR STUDY SAYS CONSERVATIVES "FOLLOWERS"

This explains why O'Rightwing gets so furiosly upset when people state views inconsistent with his rigidly held positions and starts shouting at them the SHUT UP!

His seriouis emotional problems in dealing with dissenting views is very clear.

And in other news...Water is wet and fire is hot.

"...whereas liberals are more open to new experiences." Yeah, just look at how open everybody here is to differing opinions! Give me a break.

A mind is like a parachute, it is only operational when it is open. Combine that with the study that concluded that many conservatives don't like to read and you have the makins' of a trend. It sure explains a lot.

This reminds me of the anthopologists from the 1920's who (in order to support their beliefs that blacks were inferior to whites) would measure brain capacity in skulls differently. With caucasian skulls they would use a compressible material, barley grains. With the negro skulls they would use ball-bearings. When the materials were placed into a beaker voila the barley grain would decompress thereby 'proving' that whites had a larger brain cases than blacks.

Same bullshit different century.


Another brilliant study from the Liberal minds of Berkley

How to spot a baby conservative
Whiny children, claims a new study, tend to grow up rigid and traditional. Future liberals, on the other hand ...

Conservative brains don't process, they merely react.
