A study to be published next year at University College London suggests that conservative brains are structured differently than the brains of other people. The investigation, led by Geraint Rees, focused on 92 individuals in the U.K. — 90 students and two members of Parliament.

Specifically, the research shows that people with conservative tendencies have a larger amygdala and a smaller anterior cingulate than other people. The amygdala — typically thought of as the “primitive brain” — is responsible for reflexive impulses, like fear. The anterior cingulate is thought to be responsible for courage and optimism. This one-two punch could be responsible for many of the anecdotal claims that conservatives “think differently” from others.

Since only adults were included in the investigation, researchers were unable to determine if cerebral physiology drives politics or if political beliefs change the brain. A previous University of California study suggests the former is possible, isolating a so-called “liberal gene” — the neurotransmitter DRD4 — responsible for an increased receptiveness to novel ideas.

A clinical and forensic psychiatrist, lyle Rossiter, has treated over 1,500 patients and examined over 2700 civil and criminal cases. He is author of the LIBERAL MIND:The Pathological Causes of Political Madness, and diagnosed
this form of mental derangement known by some as MOONBATTERY....

"Based upon irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded. Like spoiled, angry children, the rebel against the normal responsibility of adulthood and demand that a parents government meet their needs from cradle to grave..............."

Basically liberalism is a willful failure to mature beyond adolescence that can have catastrophic consequences for society.

All of the quotes and basis of the administration point of view are from people whose heads could roll if the truth were to ever be fully fleshed out. How about we hear from the 30 survivors who were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements? What is it they might have to add that the administration is so fearful about? If, as Panetta stated, "...spared no effort to do everything we could...", is true: (a) what actions were taken, and (b) why concoct a story about a video?

Nixon didn't commit the crime of burglary, but was justifiably nailed for the cover-up. Libs rant and rave about how much of a failure he was... but how is Obama different? Every hint of scandal is met with obfuscation, cover ups and lies.

Your fallacious narrative notwithstanding, this is relevant HOW to Leftist/Obama obstruction of domestic production and distribution? A fully productive U.S.A. would have no need to maintain middle-east supplies and, therefore, no need to spend much blood or treasure in that region except, perhaps, for humanitarian reasons. (btw, if you haven't noticed, we ARE the good guys. We leave and don't steal stuff on our way out. Or would you like to argue otherwise?) In fact, this would defang OPEC plus keep the jihadi's impoverished. Much better that than a shooting war, yes?

But have it your way: $4 gasoline, uncertain supply, business dealings with criminal-enterprise governments which make your evil Koch Bros./Big Oil look like kindergarten teachers and oil-producing enemies gaining increased leverage on world events...

Can Leftists really be this dense?
