Men who are physically strong are more likely to take a right wing political stance, while weaker men are inclined to support the welfare state, according to a new study.

Researchers discovered political motivations may have evolutionary links to physical strength.

Men's upper-body strength predicts their political opinions on economic redistribution, according to the research.

The principal investigators - psychological scientists Michael Bang Petersen, of Aarhus University in Denmark, and Daniel Sznycer, of the University of California in the U.S., believe that the link may reflect psychological traits that evolved in response to our early ancestral environments and continue to influence behaviour today.

How many millions of taxpayer dollars were flushed down the crapper to reach the same conclusion I came to on my own for free?

Stands to reason that the more self-reliant you are, the more conservative you’d be,

and the more you depend on others for your provision and protection, the more collectivist you’d be.

Maybe not outlaw them. But they do want common sense gym control laws.

There are Moderates in the world and there are Right Wing Extremists.
There are Mainstream Thinkers and there are Right Wing Extremists.
There are people with a Right Wing political stance and there are people who support the Welfare State.

The “opinion makers” do not want to use the term “Left wing” because it is off-putting. And, of course, this is precisely why they enjoy using the term “Right wing” so much. It is intended to be a turn-off.

Socialism is feminine in nature. No big surprise here.

Why don’t they do a survey of the able bodied on the dole and in prison? I’d wager 98% have Leftist views.

Yep! Strong men are generally self-reliant and know their personal limits. On the other hand, weak men see the government as their personal bouncer.

Having been a bouncer in college, we always knew the leftists from the conservatives. The conservative guys would ask us to call them a cab. The leftists would fight with us when we asked them if they needed a ride home and proceed to get pulled over for DUI when they left the parking lot.

You'll notice that Ahnold got weaker after he married that Kennedy bimbo.

Actually, now when I think of the really liberal men that I know, most would not be able to fight their way out of a wet paper sack.
