Conservatives are happier than liberals.

A study published in the journal “Psychological Science” says it’s because conservatives are better at rationalizing inequalities.

Regardless of someone’s income, marital status or church attendance, people with right-wing ideologies report greater satisfaction with their lives than those with left-wing beliefs. Researchers found that conservatives also score highest when it comes to the ability to justify inequalities.

For example, a conservative might support the idea of a meritocracy – that if you work hard and perform well, you’ll move up the economic ladder… and if you don’t, you probably won’t. But the study shows liberals tend to be troubled by this. Inequalities take a greater psychological toll on liberals, apparently because they can’t rationalize away the gaps in society and thus end up more frustrated by them.

The responses?

I guess it’s Friday. Ignorance is bliss. Conservatives are idiots (they voted for the biggest idiot on the planet twice) hence they are too dumb to see what is going on around them. Liberals, on the other hand, are far more intelligent and thus are painfully aware that they and our great country are being led over a cliff – what’s to be happy about?

Geee, I sure wish David liked me.

The noble DU is turning on the Clintons big time, their screechathon reaching a familiar fever pitch.

You know only the video montage and the sound bite that some corporate media lackey chose to loop onto your television set. Or maybe someone at a site that goes by the name of C.U.N.T. or HillaryHatersRUS. Or someone who works for a political opponent but says he did it on his own time

You thought that you knew Hillary Clinton and you were so surprised when you discovered that you did not know her at all about--let me check my watch---five months ago.

find it absolutely appalling. She’s saying, “If you’re white and you know what’s good for you, you’ll vote for me.” She’s saying to black voters, “There aren’t enough of you to count in my calculations, white racists outnumber you. And I WILL have my way!”
