21 reasons to vote republican - in November

21 reasons to vote Republican in November

1. I don't want my hard-earned tax dollars spent on the needy, like seniors, the homeless, or people without health care. Not when we have wars to fight and terrorist to convert. Tanks and body bags are expensive.

2. I think we should give up our freedom of speech by passing laws like the Patriot Act. Every real American should be willing to have their phones tapped as part of their patriotic duty to the Fatherland.

3. I believe we should wage pre-emptive wars in the Middle East until every last Moslem accepts our democratic (Christian) way of life, even if it takes 100 years.

4. I believe our bottom-line profits are more important then a few meaningless creatures. If they were important to God, He would have given them guns like us. They don't serve any real purpose anyway.

5. I agree that we should drill for oil offshore and in Alaska. If the fish and wildlife don't like it, we can move them to reservations where they will be safe from oil spills and other environmental disasters. Running a pipeline from Canada across pristine Heartland wilderness to the Gulf Coast where it will be exported overseas while claiming it will bring domestic gas prices down makes perfect sense to me. I have no problem with mining for uranium in the Grand Canyon and mountaintop removal all up and down the Appalachians. The beauty of those vistas bores me to tears.

6. Our government has a right to pass anti-abortion laws. Women should understand that Republicans know what’s best for their bodies. It's not like we need to control population but if we did, the Republicans have a great plan. You guessed it. More war. So ladies, do your duty and have your babies. We will need them to insure our future global hegemony. Try your best to produce males. Females are too frail and too emotional for combat.

7. I believe no death row inmate has a right to appeal, even if exculpatory DNA evidence surfaces that proves their innocence. If it's good enough for Mr. Bush and the Guilag state, then it's good enough for me.

8. No business should be forced to give any benefits to its workers no matter how much money it makes off them. Let them eat cake.

9. The Republicans are the only ones that should be allowed to interpret our Constitution because, after all, Lincoln was a Republican. We must NEVER forget that Lincoln was a Republican.

10. I believe every American should own a few guns because if Iran ever invades us, our nuclear missiles may not be enough to stop them.

11. The Republicans will stop those gay people from making our children gay. I thank God for Michele and Marcus Bachmann’s pray away the gay camp for those kids who slip through the cracks.

12. I am voting Republican in November because they promise gas prices will drop to $2.50 per gallon. Lies don’t bother me at all as long as they come from my fellow Republicans.

13. I am voting Republican because I am a white male. It does not matter if they are otherwise against me. If they say that they are for white males, then I say I am for them too. White males have the God-given right to preserve their favored status for all eternity.

14. I am voting Republican next time because I do not belong to any union. I have been told that unions are evil, and of course I believe it since Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity said so.

15. I am voting Republican because the President is not a United States citizen. I have been told that from the Tea Party, the conservative talkers, and Michelle Bachman. If they say it, I know those truths to be self evident.

16. I am voting Republican because I think the deficit and the debt are the most pressing problems we face. I haven’t had a raise since 1981 but I am fortunate to still have retirement savings that I can siphon off to make up the difference. I don’t care if my neighbors and fellow citizens are employed or not. They know where to find their boot straps.

17. I am voting Republican because I believe that tax breaks for large corporations making billions of dollars stimulate job creation. Fox tells us how well this worked under G. W. Bush, so it must be true.

18. I am voting Republican because my Daddy died and left me $50 million. I do not want to give a cent of it to the Treasury! Let the little people pay while they wait for their trickle down.

19. I am voting Republican because I am the head of a large corporation that pays no tax after my attorneys get done looking at the dodges. Heck, some of us even get a REBATE when the loopholes are properly exploited and I really enjoy my rock-bottom highest marginal bracket. Back when Eisenhower was President I would have been taxed at over 80%, but that's the only thing about the 1950s I really cannot abide.

20. I am voting Republican because I run a huge defense contractor corporation. Not only is it a LEGAL PERSON because of the recent Republican Supreme Court decision, but I also get lots and lots of money for my fatcat shareholders, and they in turn vote to give me a sinfully large salary and bonus, every year! I secretly LOVE the current tax code, though I give token lip service to reforming it, and even donate some of my spare chump change to Republicans who keep me in power. Money is GOOD!

21. I am voting Republican because I am a hedge fund trader and our candidate (my mentor) is the ultimate hedge fund kingmaker. I do not draw a salary and pay no FICA or Medicare, though I will be eligible to collect everybody else’s money even if I don’t need it when I retire, unless Ryan manages to gut it and privatize it into oblivion before I can get my hands on it. I pay just under 15% of my income in taxes while all the rest of those idiots working for wages and salaries pay over 15% on FICA and Medicare alone, then up to 30% in income tax.

Vote Republican in November. Status quo rules.

Conservatives and liberals don't seem to agree about much, and they might not agree about recent studies linking conservatism to low intelligence and "low-effort" thinking.

As The Huffington Post reported in February, a study published in the journal "Psychological Science" showed that children who score low on intelligence tests gravitate toward socially conservative political views in adulthood--perhaps because conservative ideologies stress "structure and order" that make it easier to understand a complicated world.

Ouch.

And now there's the new study linking conservative ideologies to "low-effort" thinking.

"People endorse conservative ideology more when they have to give a first or fast response," the study's lead author, University of Arkansas psychologist Dr. Scott Eidelman, said in a written statement released by the university.

Does the finding suggest that conservatives are lazy thinkers?

"Not quite," Dr. Eidelman told The Huffington Post in an email. "Our research shows that low-effort thought promotes political conservatism, not that political conservatives use low-effort thinking."

For the study, a team of psychologists led by Dr. Eidelman asked people about their political viewpoints in a bar and in a laboratory setting.

Bar patrons were asked about social issues before blowing into a Breathalyzer. As it turned out, the political viewpoints of patrons with high blood alcohol levels were more likely to be conservative than were those of patrons whose blood alcohol levels were low.

But it wasn't just the alcohol talking, according to the statement. When the researchers conducted similar interviews in the lab, they found that people who were asked to evaluate political ideas quickly or while distracted were more likely to express conservative viewpoints.

"Keeping people from thinking too much...or just asking them to deliberate or consider information in a cursory manner can impact people's political attitudes, and in a way that consistently promotes political conservatism," Dr. Eidelman said in the email.

The study was published online in the journal "Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin."

It is further evidence why Rush, Hannity and Fox can preach to their minions and it is swallowed hook, line, and sinker. No critical thinking skills. The same theory bears out within my scope of friends, relatives and aquaintances, co-workers, neighbors, posters on this board, etc. Thank you for posting this. A good refresher as to understanding them.

Reading for the mentally disturbed - Liberals - Enjoy (sniff)

[ In Reply To ..]
Don't get me wrong. Not every conservative has a winning personality and not every liberal is a toothache in search of a mouth to inhabit. In fact, one of the single nicest people I know is a liberal (Hi, Julie Joyce!) Yet and still, it's not a reach to say that most liberals, especially the ones that are politically active, are just generally difficult to get along with.

It's not just me saying that either. I've interviewed more than one big name conservative who has told me that they moved over to the right in large part because the other liberals they were around were such insufferable human beings.

John Hawkins: ...I always find the stories of people who ideologically move from the left to the right to be fascinating and I noticed that you used to be a liberal who even worked for Ron Dellums...

Michael Medved: Ron Dellums helped to make me a conservative.

John Hawkins: How so? What caused you to move to the right?

Michael Medved: First of all, even at the time I went to work for Dellums, I knew better. Because I was never that far out. I mean I supported Robert Kennedy, not Eugene McCarthy.

John Hawkins: Dellums was even a Communist, wasn't he?

Michael Medved: Yeah, he basically was. I worked for Dellums for 6 weeks and then I couldn't stand it anymore. Because I think he so clearly demonstrated some of the most malign and malevolent tendencies of the American Left. Corruption, drug use, Communist sympathies if not Communist party membership.

John Hawkins: A related question, I guess you would have been pretty surprised when you said in the book that while Christians "hold religious beliefs against homosexuality," they are some of the most tolerant, understanding, and kind people I have ever met. So was that a big surprise for you when you weren't getting condemned?

Tammy Bruce: Yes, it was; it was shocking. For me it was quite life-changing in my sense of how I viewed the world and I was also, when it comes to my view of Christians, quite surprised by how happy they were. I mean, I remember being on the left; no one is happy, trust me. They (are the) biggest group of miserable people you would ever want to meet. Everything is wrong, everything is going bad, everyone is after you, everyone wants to get you, people are building camps.

To speak with finally, on talk radio, with Christians, I was struck first by the genuine happiness from these people and also the fact that even though they disagreed with me, finally I was having conversations with people who were curious, disagreed with me, but didn't want to hurt me, were interested in persuading me, and it was quite a revelation, I have to say. I owe my beginning in talk radio to that kind of --- it's the only place really where you can have that kind of exchange between someone like myself and conservative Christians and have it be safe and have it be really life-transforming.

Why are liberals so unpleasant to be around?

1) They're unhappy: Study after study shows that conservatives are happier people than liberals. The difference can be staggering.

In 2004, people who said they were conservative or very conservative were nearly twice as likely to say they were very happy as people who called themselves liberal or very liberal (44 percent versus 25 percent). Conservatives were only half as likely to say they were not too happy (9 versus 18 percent).

Unhappy people are generally disagreeable because when you're miserable, you tend to become very selfish. If you want an example of how that works, go hit yourself on the hand with a hammer and while you're writhing in agony, see how much time you spend thinking about helping other people as opposed to wishing you hadn't smashed your own hand.

2) Liberals don't care as much about tradition: Although it goes without saying that people who worship change for change's sake don't care very much about customs, you might wonder why that would make such a big difference. Well, as Thomas Sowell has noted, "Civilization has been aptly called a 'thin crust over a volcano.' The anointed are constantly picking at that crust."

In many cases, societal conventions represent the accumulated wisdom of previous generations. Through trial and error, they discovered that there are certain things you can do that help keep a society running well. There are reasons why people get together and sing Christmas carols in the town square, refuse to insult people immediately after they die, treat marriage as sacred, and don't turn funerals into campaign rallies. Because liberals tend to think they're smarter than all those old dead people simply by virtue of being liberal, they tend to ignore those conventions and create disorder and havoc around themselves in the process.

3) Liberals see people who disagree as evil: Liberals see themselves as part of a Manichean struggle in which they’re trying to create Utopia on earth while they’re being opposed by people who want to do evil for evil’s sake. In other words, liberals are about as complex as your average comic book from the fifties. As Charles Krauthammer has said,

To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.

When you attribute disagreements with Barack Obama to racism, opposition to gay marriage to homophobia, standing against abortion as hatred of women, and a desire to balance the budget to loathing of the poor, you have a hopelessly simplistic view of the world that makes you utterly impervious to reason. Stupid, you may be able to educate, but evil, you have to defeat -- and liberals are seldom picky about the means or the manners they use while trying to do so.

4) Liberals aren't very religious: Liberals are overwhelmingly either atheists or agnostics, people who don't take their religious beliefs very seriously in the first place, or people who allow their ideology to completely subvert their religious beliefs. This is no small matter because religion is one of the great civilizing forces. That's not to say that even sincere practitioners of a religion always do the right thing because as Rick Warren has noted, "The church is a hospital for sinners, not a hotel for saints." However, if you take human beings with open minds, put them in a pew and expose them to "Love thy neighbour as thyself" and "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them" long enough, it will curb their nature and make them into much better people than they otherwise would have been.

5) Liberalism encourages arrogance: Liberals tend to believe they're brilliant, compassionate, moral, enlightened, perceptive, and courageous, not because of anything they've actually done, but just because they're liberal. When you completely divorce a person's self image from his behavior, it produces terrible results -- like liberals who hurl abuse at conservative women while believing that they're feminists or selfish left-wingers who've never given a dime to charity, but believe themselves to be much more compassionate than people who tithe 10% of their income.

Now, on some level, liberals know this is all a big sham. But, even that can be problematic because unstable high self-esteem actually causes more bad behavior and violent behavior than low self-esteem. As Roy Baumeister noted in Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty,

The sequence goes something like this. Someone tells you that you are not very competent at something. If you are a shame-prone person, you start to experience that sinking feeling that the other person may be right and this is not the only thing that you are bad at, and maybe you are just a worthless loser in general. You start to feel panic, anxiety, and misery, and your heart beats faster. To break free of those feelings, you reject the premise. You are not incompetent in the way the other person said. The other person had no right to say that to you, and he's completely wrong. Your feelings are now directed outward at him, instead of yourself, and the effects of your faster heartbeat and general arousal transfer into intense anger at the person who has so unfairly insulted you. You want to hit him.

Congratulations! You've just graduated from "Interactions with Liberals 101."

I think liberals believe deep down that they’re never supposed to feel all the negative emotions that come with being human. They can’t stand to feel shame and fear particularly. They think themselves above such emotions and either ignore them or overcompensate for them. They become narcissistic as a result.

"Not suppose to"? Perhaps. But I think you're being too kind. I think they flat-out reject them. Liberals are having a two year old's temper tantrum against the difficulties of accepting personal responsibility for their own lives that they never get out of, because they are rewarded for indulging that narcissism by Leftists who demand obedience and votes for protecting it.

I recall hearing a short teaching in Buddhism similar to that. It goes something like; you shouldn't do things like wear your shoes on your head or casually throw your clothes on the floor because acting in a disordered way like that causes confusion in others.

What many people don't understand, and liberals almost militantly deny, is that people are not all equal mentally and emotionally. Some are quite strong-willed and/or brilliant while others are very fragile and/or stupid. And all ranges in between as well of course. When you act in a crazy or careless manner just for fun or out of apathy towards your own actions you do great harm to those who don't have the capacity to understand.

Tradition, order and mindfulness are very valuable and stabilizing qualities that go much further than simply being useful to the person who practices them.

Honoring one's parents and ancestors is important for those reasons among others. All of the knowledge that now exists among us is an accumulation of knowledge from those who have come before us. They paid a price for many of the things they learned that we now take for granted.

I implore everyone to vote. AND check your ballot after you vote and make sure who you voted for is who is checked. This is what makes me nervous that they could cheat themselves back into office.

As a result, she said, there were generations of Russian students who were m ...

The verdict is out on flu shots. Many medical experts now agree it is more important to protect yourself and your family from the flu vaccine than the flu itself. Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this verdict: 1.) There is a total lack of real evidence that young children even benefit from flu shots. A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo. Also the shots a ...

No doubt, millions will discard objectivity and project their hopes for the future on the public persona of Hillary Clinton, as it will be carefully constructed by professional political strategists and public relations experts, all funded by the billion dollars plus that the Clinton brand will attract through its fundraising apparatus. Those who are more sober and reflective in their political judgments should consider the following three points I raise as reasons to be wary of a second Clinton ...

Nor did they have the sliightest understanding of circumstantial evidence. What is funny to me is when the jurors try to justify their decision, they end up hanging themselves with their lack of knowledge of the case and the rules of the case.

Clearly these jurors were misguided to say the least and uneducated at best. Maybe that is ...
