Well, it is one way to spot a liberal - shifty eyes.

True, the visual gives clues to our ideology. I know for me, I just can’t see being a Liberl Progressive marxist Fascist Secularist.

Makes sense. Liberals are easily manipulated, conservatives are independent thinkers.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve always thought that hard lefties have a certain kind of dead eye look to them. Something in the soul, I suppose. The women look hard and worn and the men look weak. I’ve seen the look and found the ideology later many, many times. Weird, but generally true in my experience.

Must be why they all develop that eyes bugged out looney look. It happens to all of them the more BS they spout over the years.

Some years back Kirsten Powers used to be pretty and normal looking. Over time she has developed that bug eyed look.

The faces in the study were images on a computer screen. I wonder what the results would be like if they were looking at real people instead of a computer screen.

It could be that liberals can’t tell the difference between real and fake people, and conservatives can. In that case, there would be no difference between liberals and conservatives in doing the same experiment, but with real people looking off in some random direction.

That would suggest a lot about liberals’ grasp on reality.

So now we have the scientific evidence: Liberals are sheep.

In nature among salmon, it is common to have different survival strategies among sub-groups. For instance, some will leave the system early and some later. It is the wondrous design of nature that this strategic diversity builds adaptive resillience into the species. I do not find the study’s observations a surprise. I think one is a strategy guided by traditional/absolute cultural absolutes, truths, constructs or world views. I perceive The other is a strategy heavily influenced by an urge to go along with the herd is doing at the time.

I voluntarily participate in an Internet board that focuses on survival preparation strategies. A recent poll of the personality types of the participants found around 80% to be of one personality type. The interesting thing about this was that it was the most rare of personality types. Most of these participants are of a conservative bent. So I think personality (whether nature or nurture inspired) may also have an influence on ones political tendencies. The study may have captured one facet of that. It would be interesting to me if a survey could be done to determine whether one or more personality types occurred in conservatives greater than in the population as a whole.

I hope I did not pay for this study.

[vpintheak]

easliy manipulated and led astray. Yep sounds like liberals.

[jocon307]

I’ve always thought I was born conservative
