Psychological research on conservatives finds them 'less complex'
I've posted this before, and it's old news, but it's still a gem.

8. Normally,...
I would respond "Shocked! Simply shocked I say!" but then I reread the subject line. Move on along. Nothing to see here.

9. Very telling...
This quote:

"A broad range of conservatives share a resistance to change and acceptance of inequality, the researchers said, linking Reagan, Hitler, Mussolini and talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

These men were all right-wing conservatives, the study said, because they preached a return to an idealized past and condoned inequality in some form."

As opposed to this one:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created EQUAL, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

13. Now THAT's a euphemism
Edited on Mon Aug-23-04 06:50 AM by Nimrod
'Less Complex'... any relation to 'Special'?


"Mr. and Mrs. Bush, we think your son George may be special."

"Oh thank God for that, we thought he was fuckin' stupid."
