I'm not surprised how about you? The funniest part is that it's in a lib rag.  :-)

Can't wait to see what the DUmp inmates say when see this.  :lmao:

In a series of three studies with more than 300 participants, the authors found that people who identify as conservative perform better on tests of self-control than those who identify as liberal regardless of race, socioeconomic status and gender.
A people... who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may achieve almost anything.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Benjamin Harrison

"Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%."

Self control is what liberals lack. It includes their nonstop complaining and anger.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
-Napoleon Bonaparte

Allow enemies their space to hate; they will destroy themselves in the process.

True.
As well as self discipline.
Narcissism.
Along with a strong drive to reject any consequence tied to any action.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

A double whammy....Conservatives have to work and buy their own groceries.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Funny this thread pops up. Two weeks ago I changed my eating habits and started working out. Already dropped 12 lbs.

I believe the study especially when it comes to impulse control. Just look at the last few days. We went from a maniac murdering innocent people to:

1. Banning a flag
2. Banning anything which may have to do with that flag
3. Destroying or removing statues
4. Changing names of schools
5. Digging up a general who's been dead for over a century


There are reasons liberals on DU drop like flies from everything ranging from poor health to suicide. Maybe someone who has been on here longer can correct me, but so far I have yet to see one of them pass from old age or a tragic accident.
