That's no secret. We are.
Individuals with conservative ideologies are happier than liberal-leaners, and new research pinpoints the reason: Conservatives rationalize social and economic inequalities.Regardless of marital status, income or church attendance, right-wing individuals reported greater life satisfaction and well-being than left-wingers, the new study found.
Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a person's tendency to justify, or explain away, inequalities.
The rationalization measure included statements such as: "It is not really that big a problem if some people have more of a chance in life than others," and "This country would be better off if we worried less about how equal people are."
That's right. There is a reason that some of us are SRF©s and some of us are losers. It comes down to hard work and not relying on the gummint to help us out.
Of course, it's obvious to the most casual observer, and to anyone who reads the comments of this blog, that we are all much more happier than the Nebraska Nitwit and any of the liberal trolls who blunder through here.
And we also have better looking women. That's another reason we're happier. Time to repost this.

It's true. Every word.
The second half of that poster makes me want to regurgitate.
Posted by: hamer on May 7, 2008 11:46 PMGlad to see that again, Denny. You need to post that every 3 or 4 weeks.

Well, hell, how hard is it to agree with the above if you can classify an entire race as but 3/5ths of a Person?
BE FUCKING HONEST!!! "They" have bows & arrows; "You" have repeating rifles-; I can certainly understand why one 'side' might be a tad happier than the other!
"It is not really that big a problem if some people have more of a chance in life than others," - are you kidding me?
Sounds like something right from the Master Race Fatherland Koran Post-Intelligencer!

"We" have been giving "some people" more of a chance since the 60's and Rev. Wright, Barak and his Lovely wife would like the electorate to believe otherwise...if for nothing else but to get elected...when will this stop????
I guess when you say so HUH!!!!!!?????
Posted by: ty guy on May 8, 2008 02:40 AMGee, DanS, got a bee in your bonnet?
Had to forward that article to my Dad who has postulated for years that the difference between liberals and conservatives is that liberals don't like themselves.

Posted by: Sandy G on May 8, 2008 06:51 AMThe tone of the way some of that was worded didn't sit well with me though. They were suggesting, in my opinion, that the rationalization of the "problems" was done indiscriminantly and anyone that knows conservatives knows that isn't true. Somewhere in the column they should have gone into detail on how most conservatives come to their rationilizations by analytical thinking and using facts and common sense. That in contrast to touchy feely comments like DanS's above which have no basis of fact, just the way he "feels". He's obviously not happy (as comment after comment of his prove), but his unhappiness is not his fault. It's GWB's fault, it's our fault, it's globabl warming, yada yada yada. Move on folks, you'll see no rational, well thought out, educated thoughts here folks, nothing of interest to see here.
Well, hell, how hard is it to agree with the above if you can classify an entire race as but 3/5ths of a Person?

Funny you mention that, as the 3/5 Compromise was the Anti-Slave position of Northern Democrats and only applied to Congressional Apportionment. It was the PRO-slavery position that slaves count as full persons so that the South would get more Congressional Representation.
By that's OK, Dan. It is expected of liberals such as yourself to lie outrageously in order to cover your mind-numbing stupidity.
Posted by: StanW_SAWB on May 8, 2008 08:55 AMThe rationalization claim is a crock.
The greatest cause of unhappiness is unmet expectations. (Don’t confuse this with aspirations.) Expectations require that someone or something, other than ourselves, do something. Since we have no control over anything outside of ourselves, expectations, more often than not, go unmet. The result is unhappiness. Since Liberals expect the government or someone else to provide them with the “good life”, they are constantly disappointed and therefore unhappy.
Conservatives believe in self-reliance and therefore have no expectations. When something positive but unexpected happens, happiness results. Also, Conservatives believe that caring for one another is a personal responsibility not a government responsibility. That is why studies show that Conservatives are more charitable than Liberals.
AssHat gets Ass handed to him again.....
Isn`t it just dandy when a liberal posts without understanding & is roundly trounced?
Applause to; Art,StanW,Ray,Caltechgirl,Tyguy from rational people everywhere.

Not true. I just hate liberals.

Posted by: Alan on May 8, 2008 02:06 PMit's only logical...i mean, how happy can you be when you buy into the 'this country is mean', 'people are bitter because the government is doing a poor job of taking care of people' line of reasoning? liberals expect someone else to come along with a check or a program; conservatives shrug and say'i worked for what i have, why are you sitting on your ass, whining?'
Posted by: spike on May 8, 2008 03:46 PMArt~ excellent point. Denny - I love this poster. the ketchup queen is in fine form. Little known point.......Janine Turner birthed Jerry Jones grandson.........just sayin.......wish it were my father's grandson.
Posted by: patrick on May 8, 2008 10:47 PMI'm of a conflicted mind here;
on the one hand, I want to say
"Lay Off The Personal Insults and Address the Concerns I Raised!"
on the other hand, I want to say
Dudley, I understand you can't.
So, "Have A Fine Navy Day, Shipmate!"
I'll probably be leaving GOC soon simply because there's nothing original here anymore. While you may or may not agree with me, I never attacked anyone here on a personal-basis and I like to think I offered an honest and open differing point-of-view in the interest of stimulating conversation & exchange.
Dud, I understand that you need a mutual admiration blog and I gift it to you. Unlike you, I simply need a daily opinion based on something other than personal-attack.
I'm going 'dark' for an indeterminate amount of time; I'll read but not comment.
PS to Ray et al: as soon as my doctor(s) clear me, I'm headed back to NoDak (the Land of the Blown Transmission); while I can't stand the winter nor length of winter there, I thrive on the self-sufficiency demanded of me there in summer in regard to food, clothing, shelter and yes, love.
Posted by: DanS. on May 9, 2008 12:29 AMDudley1,your stats are wrong as always. I love seeing you Repukes squirm. Suck it up folks, Obama is going to win as he should. And we all will be paying big time taxes to cover Dubya's war.
Posted by: Teresa on May 9, 2008 12:31 AMtdo.....step away from the bong....
Posted by: vetfromhell on May 9, 2008 12:57 AMAlan...Denny (or the poster) forgot Megyn Kelly too.......
Posted by: ty guy on May 9, 2008 02:59 AMTeresa the stupid one, So, based on your illogic, when a Democratic President comes into office and raises taxes (which is their mantra it seems), it's to pay for something the Republican President prior to them was responsible for. You are truly a moron. Oh, the country isn't ready for a black president yet. Please save these words somewhere in your brain (huh, that's pretty funny isn't it) and we'll talk after November.
TDO the Omaha Oddball......
Unfortunately for you .....you are wrong again! You see I took the time to check the figures, you might do this on your own so as not to make a fool out of yourself.
There were 18,000 fewer applications for unemployment benefits then the previous month as the number fell to 365,000. so-called Economists as referenced by the Associated press had thought the drop would be 5000 which means more people are working!
These are apparently the same economists who claim we are in a recession....I think it is time the AP puts names on these economists they always referance......the suspicion is growing AP is just making them up in order for their stories to be credible.
The forgoing information is courtesy of Don Surbers website....you might look there once in awhile.
Also the current unemployment rate is 5% ......In 1996 it was 5.2% & the AP said that was a boom time, but Bush was not President, so just keep quiet & maybe no one will remember.
The true definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth....we as yet have not even had one despite the efforts of the liberal media to portray the imminent arrival of the second great depression.
This is why we call you"The Dumb One" ....because you accept the lies & BS fed to you by the liberal media & refuse to open your eyes to the real world.People like me who are in business know better as we experience reality for the availability for work, manpower & credit for lending every single day regardless of who is in the White House. We have to know the truth in order to survive,BS does not make it in the real world.Maybe Democratic loyalist`s spoon fed BS & the Welfare Base can ignore the truth but we cannot.
As for Obama winning the Democratic presidential nomination...most probably! The White House....not this election as your Party is to divided & the wounds take far too long to heal. Dubya #2 will have the reins of power in the White House.
Posted by: dudley1 on May 9, 2008 10:36 AMDanS......
Address the concerns you have raised? do you mean the BS you spew which passes for concerns? Speaking of addressing those concerns, you owe a whole bunch of us answers to questions posed to you over many threads which you have chosen to ignore.
Mutual admiration society ? No not really, legitimate positions based on truth & reality are always welcomed.As for going black, also not neccessary ...just be more factual for a stimulating debate instead of fodder for comedy relief.
As to your medical situation ....feel free to E-Mail to me & I will respond with my problems soon to be surgically addressed....maybe here we might find some common ground & experiences.
Posted by: dudley1 on May 9, 2008 10:50 AMTDO, the Nebraska Nitwit, who proves my point. You notice how unhappy she is every time she comments? I imagine she looks like the Dimocrat women as well. She really needs to get laid.
Posted by: Denny on May 9, 2008 11:22 AMDanS - nothing original at the GOC?......dude....I guess the internet is littered with blogs dealing with a cornacopia (sp) of Monty Python, French bashing, Bach, Boobage, TDO, the wisdom of ET, blonde jokes, fine wine, horticulture, and useful nuggets like Jerry Jones grandson .....please......send me a link....until then , take your ass whippings like a man and know that you've been known to dish it out too.
Posted by: patrick on May 9, 2008 01:29 PMPatrick -
You forgot the Canadian "Drama Queen"...
Thanks CD. We had a good laugh, at home. ;-)
dudley1-
Not to flatter you, but I understand every word of your comments to TDO and DanS, and you always clarify the situation for me. That's probably why the Quebec people you met loved you. Sometimes we have a problem with American expressions and abbreviations. Not that we speak any better, just different.
Posted by: Claudia on May 9, 2008 03:16 PMdudley1, I do not live in Omaha you idiot. Denny, I admit that I get very angry at times when I make a post on your little blog but it's just because narrow minded people such as yourself drive me CRAZY!!!
Posted by: Teresa on May 9, 2008 11:17 PMDenny - It's not Bush anymore. It's you Denny. It's your fault. You're driving TDO crazy. You should be ashamed of yourself and of your "little blog."
Posted by: Claudia on May 10, 2008 12:35 AMDanS do me a favor before you "go"...give me an address of a site like GOC but "liberal"...I will go to it as you go here, and say things on that site like you do here(proper English be Damned)...I will report back to you on how I am treated...
as for Medical "sit's" I am sorry to say that my Total Knee has to be put off, because of my second Neck surgery....Life sucks but the GOC makes me happy and Smarter!!!!!
"narrow minded people such as yourself"
Now that's funny some funny shit there. We don't even have to make this stuff up for her, this shit just spews from her mouth (or keyboard in this case). Denny narrow minded. Yeah, there's three words you probably won't see in the same sentence too often. Teresa the stupid one, crawl back into you hole and make it bigger while your there. There's another 4 years of a Republican in the WH coming and me thinks you are going to be living in isolation for a little while.
These three links should explain, very clearly, TDO's problem.

Posted by: Jerry on May 10, 2008 11:11 AMHeh! Heh! Heh! The Nebraska Nitwit calling me narrow minded. The irony. Anyone who doesn't agree with a liberal is automatically tarred with the narrow minded epithet. As to driving the Nebraska Nitwit crazy? It's not a very long drive. Especially since she's stuck on stupid. Stupid and crazy: a deadly mix. I would guess she looks like Susan Estrich.
Posted by: Denny on May 10, 2008 11:43 AMyer a fudge packing dirty, bloody, little vaginal burp if you think the bottom women werent twice as hot as the top... ive never seen something so

Why does TDO read Denny's "little blog"?
Strange, strange, strange woman...
kelly englert's comment pretty much proves my point doesn't it?
Claudia - It's because she has a big time crush on me.

Posted by: patrick on May 10, 2008 03:46 PMDenny - How lucky can you get! From now on, TDO is all yours. I tried hard to speak sensibly to her for her son's sakes. I feel very sorry for the young man.
Posted by: Claudia on May 10, 2008 06:09 PMClaudia - join the club. There is my sister and her husband, vicki, LisaKay, and I'm sure there are others who have communicated with her via email. They all did it for her son's sake. She is beyond help. So now we just bitchslap her.
Posted by: Denny on May 10, 2008 10:17 PMNote to Sandy G - Actually, it should be retro-active birth control. Especially for the biggest moron missing from the list, Rosie O'IvegotsuchabigfatmouthDonnell.

Dudley1 back from camp......
Claudia ...thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.
Teresa the dumb one....Well, Omaha sighs with relief......The Lincoln Lame Brain perhaps?
dudley1-
TDO has stated many times that she is in Omaha, so she's either a liar, or just a liberal. Oh wait...
Maybe the Bruning Blowhard?
Posted by: CharlieDelta on May 11, 2008 08:04 PMCharlieDelta.......
TDO would lie? How could you ever think such a thing? Maybe she lives in a town that has an Internet ordinance which requires intelligence in order to sign on..... so she has to travel to Omaha in order to access the net.
Incidently , have fun in Texas, I`ll be in the hospital taking care of my problem , I `ll send you a seperate E-Mail.
TDO.......The Erie Paper just had a column about why some 1800/2000 jobs are open & unfilled everyday here while we have 7800 reclining on unemployment checks;
1. Biggest reason is "Lack of Skills", do you think they might attend the local Adult skills center for training? Last time I drove by, there was no line outside the doors.
2. Do not want to work at the jobs available! Current list of open jobs includes hundreds of Machinist positions,toolmakers, & Engineers ..there is that pesky education idea again.
3. Here is a surprise.....inability to pass mandatory drug testing....Who would of thunk this!
One idea being floated is too remove some drugs from the testing requirements to improve the ability to pass rate.TDO, This is a Democratic town so even you can figure out quite easily who is promoting this idea.
We have 7800 unemployed in this area (5.5%),if the unfilled 1800/2000 jobs were filled the unemployment rate would drop to about 4.2% but this would require some effort from those over-leisured to become qualified. The local companies looking for workers are advertising in Buffalo, Cleveland & Pittsburg where maybe some people who really want a job can be found.
Posted by: dudley1 on May 12, 2008 07:29 AMThanks Denny! I did send some nice notes to TDO when her (fake?) Son went to Iraq. She called me a bitter cold hearted bitch. She also called me a nazi, that was a fun one! One apparently cannot get a better comment from a tolerant liberal! TDO is probably spending her days acting like a wailing zombie with Code Pink out in front of the Marine Recruiting place in Berkeley. Damn those warmongrels! bwhahahaha
