Scientists say conservatives scare more easily than liberals
(11 May 2009)
When debating manofaiki2003 , I was stunned at how much he seemed like a scared child in regards to another 9/11. Shockingly, he is 40 years old. That jogged my memory of a fellow student last semester describing a study about scientists showing shocking images and conservatives and liberals having very different reactions to them. I hadn't googled the topic until now. It seems there may be a scientific basis to what we have all known from common sense: conservatives are more susceptible to fear...

Study: Conservatives Don't Get The Joke Of The Colbert Report
(29 Apr 2009)
Do they call it satire or something along those lines?
Colbert Study: Conservatives Don't Know He's Joking
Quote: : Last week, Stephen Colbert revisited a segment he had done on Florida Representative Bill Posey , who sponsored a bill that "would require future presidential candidates to provide a copy of their original birth certificate," in order to put insane rumors of President Barack Obama's birthplace to bed.
Colbert thought a similar measure should be taken to end the whisperings that Pos...

Roll Call, AW Conservatives
(08 Jul 2009)
There aren't many of us left.
DonRoc is done. He was a wise voice here. Kuwi was a noble voice here once, but he left because of Mac. Thrilly has gone bye-bye. Billy was always willynilly, but that was okay. Haskins, the biggest asshole on the planet and the one we conservatives rallied behind is gone. Is deek still about after all his bannings? He must hold a record. How about ol' CaptS? How 'bout III, he was a moderator here once, ya know.
Why are they all gone? Is it really because they have...

Conservatives Caving- It's Ok Giving Gays ALL Rights Of Marriage just not...
(22 Apr 2009)
A guy I work with, sent me this, even though I never mentioned gay marriage at all...
"Why can't we all just get along? If the homo's want to live that way; I don't have a problem with that, as long as they do it in the privacy of their home, don't teach it to my kids and don't ask me to bless it by forcing my Pastor to marry them in my church."
My reply:
Why can't we all just get along? What is the reason why we can not get along? While some just want equal rights and fair treatment, others are...

Why don't conservatives have a sense of humor?
(30 May 2009)
Here's a question for all you right-leaning (and I don't mean that in the sense of "correct") members of the community forum. Why is it that conservatives have no sense of humor? Think about it. Where's the right wing equivalent of Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert?
There is none. What conservatives have is a pack of pompous, self-righteous bloviaters, the likes of Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and the Great Gasbag himself, Rush Limbaugh. Have you ever seen any of these guys crack a smile? Have you...

Liberals and Conservatives both love America.. but in different ways.
(08 May 2009)
http://open.salon.com/blog/sean_days...different_ways
Quote: : I have grown quite weary of hearing the same old tired arguments that people on the left hate America. Conservatives love to tout that they are the true patriots and that Liberals seek to somehow destroy America in some fashion, it's never really clear what it is that we advocate that leads to that supposed destruction. The truth is that both sides love their country; both Liberals and Conservatives are patriotic. However, they are p...
