I have long maintained that many conservatives are more fearful than liberals. For that reason, some of them regard Arabs, gays, blacks, Latinos, and even women as threats.

I might add that conservatives will like the first page of the article, and find a number of the observations and study-results non-offensive, but this one was my favorite:

http://www.psychologytoday.com/artic...-000001&page=2

"All people are born alike—except Republicans and Democrats," quipped Groucho Marx, and in fact it turns out that personality differences between liberals and conservatives are evident in early childhood. In 1969, Berkeley professors Jack and Jeanne Block embarked on a study of childhood personality, asking nursery school teachers to rate children's temperaments. They weren't even thinking about political orientation.

Twenty years later, they decided to compare the subjects' childhood personalities with their political preferences as adults. They found arresting patterns. As kids, liberals had developed close relationships with peers and were rated by their teachers as self-reliant, energetic, impulsive, and resilient. People who were conservative at age 23 had been described by their teachers as easily victimized, easily offended, indecisive, fearful, rigid, inhibited, and vulnerable at age 3. The reason for the difference, the Blocks hypothesized, was that insecure kids most needed the reassurance of tradition and authority, and they found it in conservative politics.

This should turn into a fun post, looks like all the Conservative like to sleep late, or else it would be an early AM **** fight... put on the butt ass protectors on this one.

We don't regard them as threats, we just don't want to stand Idle while they ***** all over us.

We want them treated equal but we feel uncomfortable slobbering and fawning all over them, we don't like the double standard, we don't like being told who we should bring home to dinner we will choose we don't want the Government running our lives.

I would invite Morgan Freeman into my home but I would never allow Mike Tyson on my property, Liberals can't understand this.

oh, right. who ever heard of liberals that are easily offended

as stated many times, im no right wing conservative. Im a Democratic because issues regarding economics, health care, gun control,opposition to the war in Iraq and the death penalty.

But that article is garbage.

insecure? You mean like Alec Baldwin or Ted Kennedy?

Interesting choice of words, considering the person that originated the thread. I would probably get banned if I made a similar post, but I guess it's OK for you...

So a couple of Berkely whacked out ultra-liberals did a "study" that made conservatives look bad.

Wow... I never saw that one coming

This is just another liberal round circle where they all reassure each outher how much smarter, more compassionate and wonderful they are from the rest of the world. Then they resume their obsessive hated of Christianity, America, George Bush and any sort of rules or decency in societal behavior.

For a great example of liberal compassion in action, you need look no further than my signature...

Where does the word "Stereotype" come from

Don't worry cons, I'm sure the researchers are well aware that its nature AND nurture that define a person and traits exhibited in childhood are really more nature only, because nurture hasn't had a whole lot of time to influence the young.

But you really need to stop associating with the groups out there that continue to 'nurture' you into remaining that scared little kid that sits alone in the corner. Start by dropping the GOP altogether, they're incorrigible. You should also endeavor to watch one Baseball game for every NASCAR race you watch. You might want to flag tonight's Red Sox v Yankees game. It promises to be a good one. There's other things you can do, but lets take it slow. You're scarred and scared enough as it is.

btw Patters, you start the very best threads
