Meaning that the ability to take personal responsibility for one's own life and fate, and expecting others to do the same, are preferable to the feelings of helplessness felt by Libs who are waiting for someone to save them.

What a crock of sh it.

You have enough problems of your own so you couldn't help anyone.

People are people, no one kind is better than the other, there are loser Cons, loser Dems, Loser Canucks and loser Americans,

only you seem to think you are above it all.....ROTFLMAO...you are no better or worse than any lib, just very poorly informed

What a crock of Canadian crapola! My biggest problem is having to read ignorant posts like yours. This article cited an empirical study. That means that the results came from scientific observations. Apparently, you are poorly informed or just anti-intellectual. Your embittered tone supports the results.

This is what you are proud of?

""" "It is not really that big a problem if some people have more of a chance in life than others," and "This country would be better off if we worried less about how equal people are."""

Sounds like "screw everybody else" is your philosophy. The kind of thing that lets you support crimes against humanity such as the killing of a million iraqis for oil and israel.

I think it is a good thing that by posting this article you have shown how useless you are in american society.

First of all, I didn't post this. I don't have a "screw everybody else" philosopy. I do, however, believe that there is no substitute for individual effort. It's called personal responsibility. Perhaps that's the concept that confuses you. In any case, I'm sure you'll find someway to trace the problem back to the zionists.

Why, Drop...you saying all Libs don't take personal responsibility for their lives and fates? My...talk about generalizing...

I might be a liberal Democrat, but I was raised with middle class ethics, and taught to always work hard and take responsibility for my thoughts and actions. I'm sure many other liberals were, too.

But how many conservatives will be happy and smiling after Obama wins on November 5?

Looking at the number of Dems who don't plan to vote for him because they're Clionton supporters, I don't see that happening.

Ah, but my one sister (the lone Republican in the family) says she and a few of her Republican friends are tired of what's happened the last 8 years (she did vote for Bush in 2000, but passed in '04) and says they're going for a Democrat, altho she didn't indicate which one she favors...yet.

So maybe that will balance out the other factor...

Drop, all this story proves is that "Ignorance is Bliss". What a waste of time and money to prove something that most people already know.

No, it means that we think only those who really need help should get it and everybody else should take care of their problems. Liberals want to solve every bodies problem for them so they stay up nights worrying how to help everybody.

Believe me, I didn't lose any sleep last night worrying about conservatives last night.(Or any other night for that matter) The thought that you actually believe that I do is kind of funny.

Unusual, I agree with your sister in several areas. I'm not fond of President Bush. Not because I'm currently based in Qatar or that we're at war but that he's not a conservative. He's like his father, closet liberals. As for McCain, he's the strongest Democrat running, when it comes to military and defense.

Sounds like they are big time war cheerleaders. I'm guessing...

well, you are either a liar or they have finally lost their sanity... I think the former, based on your past posts!

LOL

Democrats have a choice of a very liberal woman or a super liberal man. That leaves the liberal and moderate democrats out in the cold.

Frankly, I'm shocked to find out that cons know that anything other than a "far left" liberal even exists. And what makes you think anyone is left "out in the cold"? Because right wingers tend to be single issue voters? Maybe you should stop generalizing...

Actually, this sounds exactly like something cons would do. Make a decision on who to vote for as if they were siamese twins sharing a single brain. ;-x

Ever consider that your sister is telling you this just to keep peace in the family?

Are you planning on looking over her shoulder in the voting both? If not then how would you really know?
