Some thoughts on the supposedly broken brains of conservatives, from Andy Ferguson. While what Jon Haidt has been doing is interesting, most of this stuff is junk science.
Plus, related thoughts from Jonah Goldberg.

Believe that your life and property belong to you and not to Hive? That’s just crazy talk!
Resistance is SOOOOO, NOT futile!
“…academic critique of the right” demonstrate that “the rich and powerful” lack compassion, underestimate the suffering of others, have little sympathy for the disadvantaged, and are far more willing to act unethically than the less rich and not so powerful.”
Yeah, uh huh, those damned mean old, tightwad, rich, conservatives! They, like, totally suck! Go 99% , GO!!!
However, when the numbers get run, the average Conservative is giving more to charity AFTER any 10% tithing or other religious giving. And along those lines, Americans give more to worldwide charitable needs than any other countries (about twice as much as the next biggest charitable givers, the Brits), so doesn’t it follow that those same damned mean old, tightwad, rich, conservatives are donating MOST of the money and goods to worldwide charity?
The sad part isn’t that lying propagandists write this crap, that’s their job. And unlike many on the Left, they at least HAVE a job with a title and a job description people can understand.
As opposed to being a…a…let’s say, a ‘Community Organizer’.
But I digress. The sad part is just how many willing idiots there are out there who believe any of it, without questioning even the smallest ‘fact’. And certainly the willing fools of the Left swallow it hook, line, sinker, leader, gunwale and entire boat most of the time. And sadder STILL, it gets swallowed without doing even the simplest Google Search for verification.
We live in the only the only time in history where information is quite literally at most peoples finger tips, via a keyboard. And it seems to me that the more available information there is, the dumber people get. And I don’t think it’s from inundation.
It’s just so much easier to be lead by the nose, than it is to study and think. It leaves more time for ‘merican Idle, if you stop thinking, doesn’t it?! I just ‘stupid’ brains smells more appetizing to the Zombies, when the Apocalypse starts. You know what I mean. Like veal, only more, sorta brainish.
Young, unused skull muscle, tasty, tasty Leftist, OWS brains!
