Another cause of conservatism is alcohol consumption, as this study demonstrated.

Low-Effort Thought Promotes Political Conservatism

Abstract

The authors test the hypothesis that low-effort thought promotes political conservatism. In Study 1, alcohol intoxication was measured among bar patrons; as blood alcohol level increased, so did political conservatism (controlling for sex, education, and political identification). In Study 2, participants under cognitive load reported more conservative attitudes than their no-load counterparts. In Study 3, time pressure increased participants’ endorsement of conservative terms. In Study 4, participants considering political terms in a cursory manner endorsed conservative terms more than those asked to cogitate; an indicator of effortful thought (recognition memory) partially mediated the relationship between processing effort and conservatism. Together these data suggest that political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases.

Not this shit again.

It's not shit, it's psychology. Aren't you interested in why people are so wedded to their ideology? If you knew the dogs would always kill the cats, no matter what you did, wouldn't you keep them apart?

It's not interesting. How do you take a conservative or a liberal and debate with them... then over time one switches political beliefs as they change their mind despite your claiming their political standing is genetic. Did they change their ******* genetic code?

However there is truth to the idea that people are born predisposed to a political ideology. Some are born with a greater sense of freedom and others born always looking for someone to lead them and tell then what is right and wrong.

In the end it's education and excepting of that education that allows us to break the genetic pull of wanting to be controlled by others. Stronger minded people typically want more freedom. Weaker minded people usually want to be controlled . Decide for yourself what political side fits best.

Something a bit more interesting than what's being posted today, although I'm using that term "conservative" loosely since nearly all here aren't conservative, they're Reactionary.


Scientists Discover the Fascinating Psychological Reason Why Conservatives Are…Conservative
Right-wing ideology is tailored to a particular psychological profile.

A large body of political scientists and political psychologists now concur that liberals and conservatives disagree about politics in part because they are different people at the level of personality, psychology, and even traits like physiology and genetics.

That's a big deal. It challenges everything that we thought we knew about politics—upending the idea that we get our beliefs solely from our upbringing, from our friends and families, from our personal economic interests, and calling into question the notion that in politics, we can really change (most of us, anyway).

The occasion of this revelation is a paper by John Hibbing of the University of Nebraska and his colleagues, arguing that political conservatives have a "negativity bias," meaning that they are physiologically more attuned to negative (threatening, disgusting) stimuli in their environments. (The paper can be read for free here.) In the process, Hibbing et al. marshal a large body of evidence, including their own experiments using eye trackers and other devices to measure the involuntary responses of political partisans to different types of images. One finding? That conservatives respond much more rapidly to threatening and aversive stimuli (for instance, images of "a very large spider on the face of a frightened person, a dazed individual with a bloody face, and an open wound with maggots in it," as one of their papers put it).

I don't find it hot... I ain't into girl on girl and have been around it plenty. I don't find it hot because it's a fake picture, they are posing, it's stanged. I also don't find it hot because I'm not 15 and still new to the idea of sex. I have had plenty of 3ways and that picture in no way reflects reality. It's my experience that makes me not care, what kinda silly perverted fetish is it to watch 2 girls cuddle anyways....?

We fixed that problem, a few decades ago. I don't have to remember to load film in it any longer either. Thanks anyway Marcus Welby, M.D.

Identifying distinct differences between liberalism and conservatism may be useful. Most particularly, the difference between a government exercising prerogative and a government subject to law.

Whereas prerogative was once exercised by the king, it is now exercised by the president. It is counter to republican government. As the Anglican minister Samuel Seabury said in 1774 regarding the shift away from the whims of the monarchy and toward written constitutions, "The position that we are bound by no laws to which we have not consented either by ourselves or our representatives is a novel position unsupported by any authoritative record of the British constitution, ancient or modern. It is republican in its very nature, and tends to the utter subversion of the English monarchy."

Try as they might to be kings, US liberal presidents are not allowed to exercise prerogative. Undertaking Executive Orders that have no constitutional or congressional support is illegal. Hence the "Living Constitution," an idea spearheaded by such progressive academics as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., Louis D. Brandeis, and Woodrow Wilson, an idea that marginalizes the legislature with popular government and a bureaucracy that not only enforces but also regulates.

Liberals advocate for a government by prerogative. Conservatives advocate for a written constitution.

I linked the article, the article linked the study. Grow up and grow a pair, for once.

Except the opinion piece didn't link to the study. In fact, the opinion piece didn't even discuss the study.

Oh BS you moron. Get a browser that shows hyperlinks, and then grow a pair.

Sigh.

Like I said before, it links to the journal the study is published in, not the study. Thus, by definition, it is not a direct link to the study.

What makes one conservative?

Logic, a knowledge of history, a knowledge of economics, maturity, intelligence, life experience, skepticism and a thirst for freedom.

A knowledge of economics........very interesting...........do you support the FREE MARKET?

If yes, why do "conservatives" want the state to control "drugs", prostitution?

For the same reason liberals do, power.

What makes one Conservative?

The fear of change, diversity, dissent, and expressions of individual liberty, an unwarranted hostility toward persons and things perceived to be a 'threat.'

Conservatives are fundamentally reactionary and authoritarian, where conformity must be compelled and those who refuse to comply must be subject to punitive measures. The best known example of this is conservatives' hostility toward gay Americans, and the conservative effort to deny gay Americans their civil liberties absent any rational, factual motive or evidence justifying those on the right to indeed do so.

I'll bet you cannot even begin to realize the degree with which you have described a progressive.

Conservatives believe this so we must do that.

If you don't believe was we [progressives] do, we will attack your personality, your character, your financial well being, your reputation and we will shout you down in every conceivable forum. In addition, we will form premises and then cherry pick data to prove how mentally unstable or unsound our opponents are.

The best known examples are progressives themselves. No freedom of thought is permissible that a group can hold a moral objection to heinous and barbarous acts such as the killing of babies under the guise of choice, while they work to remove choice from those whom they disagree.

The hypocrisy of the progressive is that they cling to the very nature they claim they abhor in others, mainly that desire to cling to the past and past policies they see as right and traditional.

It is a bogus study, narrow-minded in fact, and narrow in scope and facts.

What makes one Conservative?

The same thing that makes someone Liberal. Stupidity and the inability to think for themselves.

...what kinda silly perverted fetish is it to watch 2 girls cuddle anyways....?

Male, at least for those of us who can still get it on that is...

A male watching two women have sex equates to "getting it on"? Ah, yes...this is where you demonstrate how much liberals respect women...right Paint? Conservatives are waging a "war" on women!!!! You on the other hand get off watching them have sex? Don't see much "respect" there, little buddy. Just sayin'...
