So, how's that Obamacare working out? How many insurance companies have jumped ship in the past couple of years? Cuttin-n-runnin from Iraq worked out great, huh? How many troops is Obama sending back to Iraq? Is ISIS stop crumbling? No? I didn't think so. How about AQ being in the run?

Let's try this again: The study found a link between the willingness to classify bull**** statements as profound and support for conservative ideals.

The bull**** statements (which were linked in the OP) had nothing to do with conservatism. They are just statements that may appear interesting at first, but upon closer examination do not make any logical sense.

The study did not pass any judgment against conservatism or even conservative ideas.

You want to get into bull**** statements by L8breaks that liberals think are the gospel? Maybe we can begin with, "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period". Talk about a bull**** statement.

Ok, you either are not grasping the point of the study or you are actively trying to troll me.

Either way, I'm done.

Whatever helps you to sleep at night.

Luckily, if you suffer from any mental health issues, you can be certain that your health insurance plan covers that type of medical care thanks to Obamacare.

I'll never thank Obamacare.
 
This thread turned out in a completely predictable fashion.

Someone should do a study on that.
 
MrT said:
This is legitimate research on some underlying differences between liberals and conservatives. The fact that you are more likely to believe that a bull**** statement is "profound" is likely to color your ability to critically analyze other data and statements.

We see the reflection of that in the nomination of Donald Trump.

So this is an "I hate Trump!" thread?? Please make your intentions clear, since we're getting a little confused... Is this a thread dedicated to making up stupid crap about conservatives and passing it off as research or making stupid crap about Trump and passing it off as research??

..and have no restrictions regarding accuracy, soundness of research or any other acceptable standard. If you can pay the fee, you get published...

I did post the thread to a partisan politics forum, didn't I? Is it really so shocking that my interpretation of the research (not made up) would have a partisan bias?

On a side note, I would point to the fact that the research revealed the smallest correlation (among the conservatives) for the Trump supporters whereas Cruz supporters showed the highest correlation overall. So I would have adjusted my statement to reflect such if either Cruz or Kasich had been nominated.

Do you have any support for that allegation?
 
faithful_servant said:
..and yet the OP was 100% pure "DURRR CONSERVATIVES WRONG BOUT ERRYTHING" and you're somehow OK with that....

No, that's an inaccurate characterization of the fundamental points of the research, or my post about that research, and you know it.

So it's a "make up stupid crap conservatives and pass it off as research" thread. Why didn't you just say so???

A short abstract:

Intelligent men dismiss claims of ridiculous study, then minutes later feel tempted to embrace its conclusions when presented with inconvenient evidence.

Actually, we're still waiting for that inconvenient evidence

What does Hillary reflect? We see approval of corruption, condescending remarks to minorities she vows to fight for, and the fact she is the best Democrats can offer?

Trump has nothing on her.
