Makers and Takers

Post by native »

From Newsmax:

...liberals are actually less compassionate and more selfish than conservatives, according to surveys of liberals and conservatives cited in Peter Schweizer’s "Makers and Takers: Why Conservatives Work Harder, Feel Happier, Have Closer Families, Take Fewer Drugs, Give More Generously, Value Honesty More, Are Less Materialistic and Envious, Whine Less . . . and Even Hug Their Children More Than Liberals."

The surveys include the General Social Survey, which regularly asks thousands of Americans their attitudes on a range of issues. Conducted by the University of Chicago and the National Opinion Research Center, the survey is considered among the most authoritative in the world.

Responding to this survey, some 71 percent of conservatives say they have an obligation to care for a seriously injured spouse or parent, compared with 46 percent for liberals. Asked if they would endure all things for the one they love, 55 percent of conservatives say yes, compared with 26 percent of liberals.

Schweizer writes that self-described liberals and Democrats, who profess to be tolerant, are much more likely to embrace stereotypes of Jews than conservatives or Republicans. ... the surveys spotlight the difference between the truth and the reality when it comes to Republicans. In doing so, they underscore how successful Democrats and the media have been at creating myths about them. ...

:lmao: Peter Schweizer! Jesus, nate, so it has come down to quoting Peter Schweitzer? :lmao:

Sounds like your boy is a little sensitive about the general perception that honks ain't the sharpest tools in the shed.


Nate, you remember back in high school how the guys that spent the most time talking about pussy were the guys that weren't getting any pussy......? :coffee:

What I remember about high school is how absolutely gorgeous Miss XX looked, buck-naked in the moonlight, in the front seat of my red '67 GTO. :mrgreen:

Does this mean you weren't getting it then or aren't getting it now? Were you a maker or a taker? ;)
