Who's surprised?

Liberalism is for bitter misfits, including annoying 98lb weaklings.

Is anyone surprised by that connection?

No. Not a bit.

This "study" is probably as "scientific" as anything else that comes out of there, yet I expect very few objections from the right this time :-)
The left however, *know* that strong masculine manly men are wrong about everything, pretty much by definition.

I recently read a ‘scientific study’ asserting that people cognitively impaired (exhaustion, trauma, inebriation) think like conservatives. I’ve seen ‘studies’ that say that conservatism atrophies the brain and another that said that children who were more fearful than their peers grow up to be conservative. For this reason - I reject this study as well. The MSM and the psych schools are not going to portray conservatives fairly. The studies are slanted. A blogger at IronShrink.com sometimes analyzes the latest pop ‘studies’ denigrating conservatives and every time, he is easily able to prove the studies invalid. Yes. ‘Prove’. By that I mean he exposes bias, invalid comparisons, faulty logic, wishful thinking etc. in these studies.

I suspect the MSM uses ‘strong’ to mean ‘knuckle dragger’ but I could be wrong. But I can’t applaud the OT study unless I see how it was constructed, if it was valid etc. If I don’t, the idjiots who keep cranking out ‘conservatives are more fearful’ ‘conservatism rots your brain’ type ‘studies’ will gloat that I reject studies I don’t agree with and embrace the same quality of study if it does appear to support my views.
In fact, this could be a study ‘leaked’ as ‘strong men’ and then, when the conservatives embrace the study, it may be ‘revealed’ that by strong, they mean like Hugo Chavez etc. Yeah...I am THAT jaded by what the MSM has shoveled on us.
But thanks for posting - it’s always interesting to see how the ‘narrative’ is ‘framed’.

I read the article. Maybe strong men are attracted to Conservativism because they believe evil should be fought and sometimes strength is necessary for that.

I know I believed that in my younger days.

Is the reverse true? Are Liberals really sissies?
