What Science Says About Conservatives vs Liberals

[easyt65]

How about telling kids about how they can avoid conception until they are ready for parenthood, and letting them decide whether to employ these methods or not, both presently and in the future. You know, making them independent? Nobody is telling anyone that they have to use birth control.

While we are at it, we can explain to these kids:

1. If you get pregnant because you decide to have sex, abortion is not a 'post-intercourse contraceptive'.

2. If you need financial help due to getting pregnant after 'YOU' made 'YOUR' choice, look to your family, church, local organizations for help - don't run to the federal govt with your hand out demanding tax payers pay for your 'mistake' / poor decisions.

3. The Govt should stop paying single mothers for every baby they have out of wedlock, babies they can't afford. Change the law, then tell these kids the govt will help pay for ONE (1) max. If you have another child you are on your own. If you have kids you can not take care of, for their own safety they should be taken from the kids getting pregnant and placed in other places where they will be loved and properly cared for.

Why does it take "science" to know without a doubt that liberals are far more authoritarian than conservatives will ever be?

Liberals demand you do what they say and live by their beliefs and regulations.\

Conservatives firmly believe in individual freedoms , the right of self-determination.

So, what does this "study" say?

A study shows that liberals are the real authoritarians and and mostly psychotic:

Turns out liberals are the real authoritarians.

A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with “psychoticism” now says it got it wrong. Very wrong.

The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has “an error” — and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism.

Once again, someone paid a lot of moolah to a Virginia Commonwealth University researcher to conduct it. Wanna bet there were federal funds in there somewhere?

Individual freedoms and self determination...

So, if a person wants to pay another person for sex, you conservatives are all good with that, right?

If a person wants to smoke a joint instead of drinking a beer, you conservatives are all good what that, right?

Actually, those are closer to Libertarian views. But speaking for myself, yes. The basic tenant of freedom is this. Your rights end where mine begin. You are free to do whatever you choose as long as you don’t harm another.

If the other party to you paying for sex is amiable and chooses freely, without coercion, it is none of my business.

As for marijuana, for years I’ve argued that liberals and libertarian leaning republicans should get together and hammer out a deal. The liberals always object. I’ve heard every asinine argument you can imagine.

So, what is your view on:

1. Welfare: Paying single mothers, basically, to have kids out of wedlock, children they are unable to financially support. (Have a kid, get a check...)?!

2. Funding For Illegals / Sanctuary Cities: Taking law-abiding citizens' tax dollars to fund criminals, in violation of US Immigration law (and other laws)

What if the father died at work leaving the single mother to fend for herself? What if the Father was convicted of a crime leaving his wife and children alone? What if the husband and father was later found to be convicted of a crime he did not commit? We can play the what if game from now to Christmas.

The problem is conflicting laws. We have passed laws that low income families get financial assistance. If you think running on tax increases is a sure way to lose elections, try running on eliminating social services. The Republicans would be so far in the minority they would be able to manage caucus meetings in a phone booth.

Welfare to workfare was a plan passed during the Clinton administration. The idea was to give job training to people on welfare, or require them to work a certain number of hours to qualify for assistance. The argument then was we showed our compassion by helping move people from welfare so self sufficiency.

There were many comments made at the time. The old teach a man to fish argument was popular. Odd isn’t it that this wise argument is lost today? Perhaps not odd. Perhaps it is simply sad.

The last time the immigration issue came up, I liked the argument that our policy should be a mirror image of the nation the people came from. For Mexico, you could never be a citizen, or buy land, or vote. The most you or your descendants could achieve was resident status if you immigrated to Mexico as one example.

But your reply shows something else. It shows that the stupidity of party purity does not exist solely on the left.

How to spot a sociopath - 10 red flags that could save you from being swept under the influence of a charismatic nut job

 

[Lysistrata]

How about telling kids about how they can avoid conception until they are ready for parenthood, and letting them decide whether to employ these methods or not, both presently and in the future. You know, making them independent? Nobody is telling anyone that they have to use birth control.

While we are at it, we can explain to these kids:

1. If you get pregnant because you decide to have sex, abortion is not a 'post-intercourse contraceptive'.

2. If you need financial help due to getting pregnant after 'YOU' made 'YOUR' choice, look to your family, church, local organizations for help - don't run to the federal govt with your hand out demanding tax payers pay for your 'mistake' / poor decisions.

3. The Govt should stop paying single mothers for every baby they have out of wedlock, babies they can't afford. Change the law, then tell these kids the govt will help pay for ONE (1) max. If you have another child you are on your own. If you have kids you can not take care of, for their own safety they should be taken from the kids getting pregnant and placed in other places where they will be loved and properly cared for.

Abortion is a right that the person chooses to exercise or not. It is not up to schools to push ideologies.
Who "runs to the federal government"? This usually is state aid. Moreover, if the morons in government are so against abortion and make efforts to impose their personal beliefs on others through the operation of government, they personally SHOULD pay for aid.

As for women who got conned, probably too young, into marriages with trash like Josh Duggar, and this trash doesn't pay up when she finally gives him the boot, who pays?

Aside from Late Term abortions where liberals defend the murder of babies capable of surviving outside the womb, I don't care if a woman has an abortion or not. What I care about it liberals demanding I help pay for it. Your choice - your money, NOT MINE! Same thing with funding illegals / sanctuary cities.

Nice thread.

Lefties like to think they are "educated" ones and the rest of need more of their "education".

I just replied something similar to Shillian in another thread...

Perception of "education".

For lefties, education doesn't mean having knowledge about science and knowing a lot about the world in general.

It means being injected with the views and assumptions of their leftist teachers and their leftist elite.

If you accepted their views, you are "educated". If you don't challenge them, or their views, you are "educated". Today's education is programming you into what you must think. It is as prescriptive as education in the communist countries. At least in those countries, many understood that they should not trust what they were being told. Here in the States, because the propaganda is (or it was) much less obvious, students do not have their guard up.

Every leftist study done today will tell you that leftist are smarter, more intelligent, have higher morals, better in general. According to Think Progress, Daily Show viewers are more informed than viewers of FoxNews and CNN. Their studies show that you are better off watching nothing than watching FoxNews.

Lefties keep saying they're not just better informed, but they're smarter, they know more words, they're better at grammar... and they start really believing in that. PoliticusUSA explain all that. You won't hear them saying to our kids they're smart because they're liberal, but they'll keep repeating that smart kids grow up to be liberal, because liberals are more intelligent than conservatives.

Normally, smart people recognize each other by their knowledge. The leftist recognize one another by their mutual "knowing". Even here on this board, we can see these smug leftists doing the same thing. We heard from smug Hillary how we are deplorable, and how women who didn't vote for her can't think for themselves, and that they voted against their best interests. None of that is based on any scientific data, it's solely based on elitist dogma that they're better than we are and that we need them to tell us how to live our lives.

 

[regent]

Liberalism and science were both a result of the same discoveries being made being during "The Age of Enlightenment." That age is also recognizable in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

Pfui. You lumped all single mothers together. In an earlier reply you denounced Abortion. You don’t want abortions, and don’t want to pay for the kids regardless of how they got here. You don’t get to pretend that while discussing one you never said anything about the other. What about Veterans, are we doing too much, or too little for them, and their families? Are we failing our Veterans by not providing support for them, and their families after they return from war in pieces psychologically speaking? Or are we doing too much for these freeloaders who expect everyone pay when they obviously knew what they were getting into when they signed up?

How we got here is part of the discussion, and surprise surprise, divorce rates among returned veterans is up by nearly fifty percent. Do we blame the now single Mothers for having no father figure earning money? Or do we blame the Gold Star wives for being silly enough to marry a soldier?

Jackass, you have a lot of absolute opinions, and they ignore reality. Honestly I am not surprised, such absolute arguments usually ignore a large chunk of reality. When called on it, you wish to dismiss reality so you can focus on one small segment of the problem facing our society. A one size fits none answer to the problem that you fail to understand at all, much less adequately.

So do we cut Welfare to the Gold Star families? Those freeloaders, he knew what he was getting into when he signed the contract. He should have known better than get married. Is that the attitude we should take? Or do we say they’re OK, and deserve more money because of the sacrifice of the Veteran? How about cops, firefighters, and the list goes on and on.

Nah, you want to pretend that everyone on welfare is just having babies to get more money. Pfui. That was the idea behind the Welfare reform during the Clinton Era. You see, Newt and the Republicans pushed it up to his desk half a dozen times before finally coming to an agreement on it. It was heralded as a huge step forward, the chance to get people off welfare, and earning. Giving them a hand up, not a hand out.

You don’t even pretend to care about that, instead refusing to admit that we had a system that was showing promise, because then you might have to say something almost nice about a Democrat, and worse a Clinton. The Horror.

I doubt you can learn anything from this song, but I’ll try.



I know you can’t learn from this song, but this is for the others who know that every story is different, and personal, and the one thing they all have in common, is that they need our help.



Looking forward to you posting a comment on YouTube for the Five Finger song about how those lazy veterans need to get off their asses and get to work. They knew what they were doing when they signed up, and get no compassion from you.
