A LIBERAL anti-conservative study-a-day keeps the Obamacare blues away.

White gun owners more likely to be racists: study "................................Citing results that show attitudes among white people toward guns appear to be influenced by “illogical racial biases,” the study’s authors suggest that gun-control policies might need to be implemented “independent of public opinion.”

[A CA Guy]

How hard is it to come up with the logic that if you make a dollar and spend three that you have a spending problem.

Where is the problem in understanding that?

[VRWC For Truth]

Better dead than red. The left is so stupid.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Laying the groundwork for Soviet-style “You don’t agree with the regime? Then you must be crazy. Off to a mental institution with you.”

[MrB]

How about this to explain Tea Party “rage”:

we’re tired of being stolen from. Period.

[LibLieSlayer]

I will refrain from what I was going to say about this Nazi propaganda.

[Dick Bachert]

The Tea Party "RAGE" is a function of their understanding of the amount of substantive damage the libturds are inflicting on this country and the PASSION that flows from their desire to STOP IT!

Libturds -- like Moyers -- have a hard time working up a rage. Hell, given their normal posture (depicted below), most of them can hardly BREATHE!

Can science explain Tea Party rage? [another "study"]

Here is my absolutely free, concise and irrefutable study...

Tea Party Rage is explained by accepting that its members are informed citizens of average or higher intelligence.

[Robert Teesdale]

This is just too funny...

It is, however, a wondrously engaging and reassuring tendency of the collectivist practice to be ideologically driven by ivory tower theoreticians ill-equipped to survive the purge stage of their revolutionary process.

Once the brutes driving the gunfire turn on the academics, we're left with simply defeating brutes and there's a respite from the idiotic and onanistic self-congratulatory blather of the Marxist idiots currently leashing our societ forward into darkness.

would liberals write an essay on the good things about George W. Bush and would conservatives write an essay on good things about Barack Obama—and the liberals were more willing to write that essay

Duh, libs can find much about W to like. The only good thing I can say about Obama is he appears to love his children.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Can science explain the deep-seated neurosis that drives Progressives/Liberals/Socialists/Communists to want to have complete and absolute control over other people?

[Dysart]

Only skimmed this nonsense but I got a got a good chuckle from their ascribing authoritarian personalities to tea party members. Which of course is opposite case.

[Vaquero]

I hate to give them fodder. But rage is such a tame, pedestrian word
to describe what I feel toward the POSOTUS and his minions.

Just sayin’.

[dead]

This is just the sort of psuedo-intellectual circle jerk of ridiculous liberal thought that makes the angry goofballs on the left feel brainy and superior. It's all puffery and nonsense.

"People like us tend to be more understanding and caring, according to the latest research conducted by people like us. We also tend to be smarter. People like them are just angry all the time, like the stupid people who are angry that their tax dollars helped fund our valuable super smart and excellent study. They're always angry about things that are good and excellent, you know, the stuff we do. See how stupid people like them are? This study proves it!"

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Liberal: “You’re Phsycotic!”

Conservative: “Oh, yeah? You’re crazier than a loon!”

Scientist: “Hmm, upon scientific study, there’s a real difference in thinking here!”

Liberal and Conservative: “Scientists are idiots!”

Scientist: “Oops, maybe not?”

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Amazing isn’t it?

They can’t even see their own biases coming out in their conversation.

I find it fascinating.

Notice how they’re working to get many studies to support these theories about conservatives - going for a consensus - like global warming, where there anyone who disagrees is a “denier” and should not be allowed a voice in the discussion.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Oh yes.

Lol

[Cincinatus' Wife]

There you go again - raging.

[KarlInOhio]

One of the things that we understand about authoritarians is that they have a stronger sense of the importance of loyalty to one’s own in-group. How does that factor into this equation, do you think?

Mooney: Again, this is an area where liberals and libertarians differ from conservatives markedly. Liberals and libertarians aren’t particularly tribal in the sense of having loyalty to their group, and they aren’t particularly authoritarian in the sense of thinking you have to follow a strong leader.

Did Mooney sleep through the 2008 and 2012 elections? The Dems did everything but have torchlit parades in honor of Obama.

[Mr. K]

nice that they have the conclusion right there in the title! that sure saves time.

How about a study to explain liberal idiocy?
