Blasting More Croc About Nice Liberals

More proof that conservatives are nicer than liberals. The newspaper that printed this article is even willing to pay Lefties if they can disprove the facts in the article.


Don't listen to the liberals - Right-wingers really are nicer people, latest research shows

By Peter Schweizer

The article quotes statistics "from the General Social Survey, America's premier social research database,..."


Some highlights from this survey:


71% of conservatives think they have an obligation to care for a sick spouse or parent v. 46% of liberals.


55% conservative get happiness by putting someone else's happiness before their own v. 20% liberal.


65% conservative want to get married v. 30% liberal.


69% conservative want children v. 38% liberal. 

'I'll have babies if you pay for them,' one Leftie blogger said on the social networking website yelp.com.


Twice as many conservative parents as liberal parents would sacrifice their own well-being for those of their children. 

(World Values Survey)


Liberals hug their children less than conservatives.  

(Princeton University research study)


Liberals are more interested in  money than conservatives and rate high income as most important factor in choosing a job, and are more likely to agree that "there are  no right or wrong ways to make money."

(World Values Survey and General Social Survey)


Left are less likely to give to charity or to volunteer their time to charity. When they do support charity, it is often less the sort of organization that helps people and more one that advocates political action: Barbara Streisand gives to the Bill Clinton Foundation and Michael Moore gives to film festivals.


And finally:

"Scholars at Oxford and Warwick Universities found the same sort of behaviour when they conducted an experiment.


Setting up a computer game that allowed people to accumulate money,  they gave participants the option to spend some of their own money in order to take away more from someone else.


The result? Those who considered themselves 'egalitarians' (i.e. Left of centre) were much more willing to give up some of their own money if it meant taking more money from someone else.


Much of the desire to distribute wealth and higher taxation is motivated by envy - the desire to take more from someone else - and bitterness."

Wisdom From The Cowboys

Wisdom from The Cowboys

I just finished watching John Wayne's movie The Cowboys on Blu-Ray 
HD-DVD. At the end of the movie was a documentary with a reunion of 
some of the boys, now men, from the movie and director Mark Rydell 
and actor, Bruce Dern. Rydell and Dern were noted, strident liberals 
at the time the original movie was made, and both expressed vivid 
fear at meeting John Wayne, a noted, strident conservative. Of course 
both men were pleasantly surprised with how gracious and kind Wayne 
treated them, despite their opposing political views.

Isn't that the way it always is? Liberals consistently demonize 
conservatives as cold-hearted, mean-spirited bigots, as sure a 
steroetype in movies and television as the evil white businessman who 
murders and steals for profits. But again and again, we hear 
anectodotes of the kindness of noted conservatives like Ronald 
Reagan, Bill Buckley, and even Rush Limbaugh. And we see year after 
year that conservatives give far more money to charities than their 
liberal counterparts.

So, I ask you. Who do you expect to be more kind and gracious to
another human being: a person whose philosophy is based on respect
for the individual, their rights and freedoms, or a person whose 
philosophy is based on using the government to force the individual to obey?

Stop Feeding the Crocodile

Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor's fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can't socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last.

~Ronald Reagan, 1964, Time for Choosing
