Whiny, insecure kids grow up to be adult conservatives.

Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher with complaints? Chances are he grew up to be a conservative.

At least, he did if he was one of 95 kids from the Berkeley area that social scientists have been tracking for the last 20 years. The confident, resilient, self-reliant kids mostly grew up to be liberals.

It all makes sense now, doesn't it?

It explains a WHOLE lot.

I'll leave the Bushism out of it, but it is SOOOOO tempting

Well, well, let's take a little look-see at the author of the whiny conservative study. A perusal through OpenSecrets.org reveals this guy's political donations. It's a who's who of usual suspects, from the Council for a Livable World to Dennis Kucinich, Moveon.org, Howard Dean, Americans Coming Together, etc., etc.

The cover has come off, and this author and study have now been revealed to be a left-wing piece of crud.

Let me get this straight, because he supports mainstream democratic charities; he is a 'left wing piece of crud' and his methodology and research are automatically flawed? Tell me have you ever heard of scientific method?

Life must be very tough on you, I mean that constant struggle to maintain crumbling illusional constructs of what you think life should be like must be very tiring.

Now Rob, be nice to MIB. You don't want to see him revert to his whiny childlike state.
