From an earlier thread, as revealed on Open Secrets, some recent political donations on the part of the impartial "scientist" who ran this study:

Block's study began in the 1960's when he began tracking over 100 nursery school kids in Berkely, California as

I'm sure 100 kids in Berkely is such a representative sample of America.

[Dallas59]

While most Democratic babies turn into anti-American, immoral, lilly livered, apologetic, adult brats. Two can play this game.

Whoever that is, that is a cool name. For a moment, I thought it said "Speakspoke". No first name listed in the article.

[dirtboy]

Whiny insecure brats. What do Republicans stand for anyway? They're bullies who need the government to either blow up or regulate everyone and everything they're afraid of,

Say what?

Last I checked, liberas are the ones who want to regulate everyone and everything. Talk about projection.

[bereanway]

"If however, the study is valid, it would be an indication that whiny children grow up to be well adjusted adults with a positive outlook on life, while confident kids grow up to be unprincipled, amoral, ranting liberals."

Well, obviously the study is nowhere near valid, but I do like this guy's take.

[Jeff Gordon]

One must remember that in Berzerkly, anyone ever so slightly to right of Lenin is a "Conservative."

[Sax]

Man, once the MSM was really outted for the radically left-bent entities they really were, they didn't waste any time casting aside any pretext of being facts neutral. They are now openly and unabashedly Conservative trashers. Probably figure the only loyal audience available to them is the screaming libs, so might as well just jump in with both feet now.

[r9etb]

LOL!

The thing is ... suppose the "whiny" kids did grow up to be "conservative" (whatever that means to Mr. Block).

The interesting question would be: why? Perhaps it's nothing more than little kids having a firmer sense of right and wrong.

[ansel12]

It just wasn't my experience that the whiny cry babies grew up to be the football players, the Airborne Rangers, the Greeen Berets, the Paratroops, the hunters, all these are overwhelmingly populated by conservatives.

[Fudd Fan]

Berkeley has been nuts for years. They're supposed to be taken seriously? HAHAHAHAHA

[fzx12345]

It's Berkeley. How seriously would you take a study on Roman Catholicism from Bob Jones U?

[ConservativeChris]

So why aren't there more conservatives? It seems to me that MOST babies are whiny.

Block's study began in the 1960's when he began tracking over 100 nursery school kids in Berkely, California as part of a study of personality.

We learned from an earlier thread that the subjects were the children of "progressive" Berkley professors who were given free child care for the right to use their children as lab rats.

As posed in that earlier thread, all the kids who grew up conservative were probably already rebelling against their wacky parents, which is why they were pissed off.

[Rippin]

Kids who spend most of their first five years with their parents may appear whiney and maladjusted to the leftist educrats.

We decided to try our local gubmint school for 1/2 day kindergarten when he was 5 yrs. When my wife took our son in to register they rather firmly said to my kid "O.K. you come with me" they wanted to bring him to an evaluation room. My wife started to come with them and the edumonster said "I didn't ask you to come." Nathan started to cry. The edunazi made some comment like "now how old is he" implying of course that this behaviour was not what their little leftist socialization model expected to see. My wife was so steamed. She had wanted to say. "This is what a securely attached kid does an adult tries to take them away from their parent you moron." But of course she just smiled and said, "I think we'll just call this off."

First, they know we are a conservative family so they start out not liking us, they project a certain set of condescending expectations on the interaction, then they interpret all results based on their leftist technocratic professionalized expectations grid. I'm sure she made some file notes that would have supported this idiots research conclusions and it would tell us more about them than us.

[FormerACLUmember]

The "study" is from a chronic ultra-lefist partisan faker who has created tons of this nonsense. Michelle Malkin utterly exposed him. The "experiment" was in a day care center, exclusively populated with fellow U. of Berkeley faculty members' children. Not one in thirty of these parents is Republican. This is NOT representative of American families.

[mvpel]

The confident kids, however, turned out to be politically liberal, transforming into bright, non-conforming adults.

Block's study began in the 1960's when he began tracking over 100 nursery school kids in Berkely, California

That's all I need to know about this "study."

[P-Marlowe]

I suspect that if one did a scientific survey of the voter registration and party affiliation and political ideology of the residents of all the maximum security prisons, that the results would be quite predictable.

[geezerwheezer]

I think the good Dr. Block should add the word "head" to his last name. I did a study too, and found that 100% of criminals, bed wetters, wussies, creeps, dorks, dipsticks, tattletalers, wimps, draft-dodgers, protesters,activists, editorial writers, newspaper reporters, t.v. reporters, anti-American, anti-religion,pro abortion, pro womens' lib,anti-war, pro Gore,anti-Bush, pro-Dean, pro-Schumer, pro-Kennedy, pro-Clinton, people are democrats, until they get a real job and earn a real living, and have to do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay, then they suddenly become real conservatve and start voting Republican. I call this phenomenon "a reality check" on life in America.
