No, you're wrong! Pick a side, for or against?

This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

In reality, libertarians are rather irrelevant.

See?

Feeling clairvoyant tonight...

Not only did I get it right...I "NAILED IT!"

What I wrote is true, but the strange thing is that people who truly believe they are "on the side of righteousness" will deny they are guilty of this roboton thought process until the bitter end.

What I don't understand is why they can't just admit it...at least to themselves.

No actually, Harry, FDR -- as liberal a president as we've ever had -- was much more in favor of going to war against Hitler than the country at large, in particular the Republicans, who favored cowering with our oceans between us and our inevitable enemies.

It's a pretty dumb question. The actual threats are mixed in with imaginary threats in your list, just highlighting the title of the thread.

What you're capable of doing with this particular "conservative" biology is be afraid of everybody and everything all the time. It makes it very hard to think through whether some of these threats -- such as the "threat" of Saddam Hussein, who never in any way struck this country -- are not threats at all.

Similarly you evidently perceive killers of tens of millions to be the equivalent of headline news stories of very specific, but not programmatic or state-ordered, news stories, such as your confusing comparison between Hitler, Stalin... and a jogger in Central Park.

Ladies and gentlemen, in support of the study in question, I give you exhibit A, Harryboy: Capable of a great deal of fear, but limited reasoning skills as would be found in the Liberal's brain.

This makes a good deal of sense. I have often seen a liberal make a very good point when apples and oranges are compared -- and conservatives running around with their proverbial hair on fire screaming that they're all "threats" or "savages" or what have you, and accusing liberals of "overthinking" or "rationalizing."

But of course it would look that way to a conservative, to whom the natural state of affairs is to underthink and be irrational.

I'll have to go out in the yard and think about this.

Maybe if you drank more it would kill off all those extra neurons in your amygdala and you could see things for what they really are. Its called Alcohol therapy...

Would that it were that simple Flex...

From casual observation of career drunks, I'd much sooner conclude that the reasoning centers of the brain are easily destroyed as much as the amygdala.

Observation of drunks in the act of getting wasted tells me that belligerence increases and reasoning ability decreases (although to be fair, while drunk, they don't tend to be exactly fearful, and courageously face down any threat, real or imagined. In fact, if there's no threat to courageously face down, they'll gladly pick a fight instead.)

The current expression of conservatism seems to be a much more timid response to the perceived threat: They want to run from international responsibilities, and cry "unsustainable!" when confronted with our national challenges.

Or, perhaps this is simply an expression of fear of equality with the "groups" they have identified as Jungian shadows -- you know, that "other person" from an "other group," who's a "welfare queen in designer jeans," as opposed to our own welfare-cheating loved ones who hide assets so they can be fake-poor and go on medicaid.

Hey ya gotta fear & loathe someone. Otherwise you have to use reason to fix your problems. That plays right into the libruls' hands.
