two comments:

1) methinks they got the results mixed up since the liberals are the ones whining and insecure.

2) "if you're 20 and not a liberal, you have no heart, if you're 40 and not conservative, you have no brain" - Chuchill

"The whiny kids tended to grow up conservative, and turned into rigid young adults who hewed closely to traditional gender roles and were uncomfortable with ambiguity.

"The confident kids turned out liberal and were still hanging loose, turning into bright, non-conforming adults with wide interests. The girls were still outgoing, but the young men tended to turn a little introspective."

I DON'T HAVE TO READ ANYMORE TO KNOW THIS WAS WRITTEN BY AND IDIOT!

A buddy of mine read this and observed that if this was thrue then his kids were in no danger of becoming liberals.

I see most of the people here did not click the link. This article is attacking the premise of the original study.
