Study of Bush's psyche

hehe. Unfortuneately, the authour hasn't exactly been around long enough to gain a reputation as credible or accurate.
 
I am about to release my article on a similar subject. Here is the intro:

A study funded by the US government has concluded that liberalism can be explained psychologically as a set of neuroses rooted in "guilt and paranoia, ignorance and the intolerance of facts".

What do you think?
 
i found the article interesting. it would have been interesting if it was about liberal leadership too.

i think that anyone who would want to be the president/king/leader of a coutry has to be "a little off" psychologically from most people.

Here is the study...

Berekley

It is a cooperative study between various top schools on the psychological motivations of conservatives.

Assistant Professor Jack Glaser of the University of California, Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy and Visiting Professor Frank Sulloway of UC Berkeley joined lead author, Associate Professor John Jost of Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, and Professor Arie Kruglanski of the University of Maryland at College Park, to analyze the literature on conservatism.

Fear and aggression

Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity

Uncertainty avoidance

Need for cognitive closure

Terror management

You can even see these traits here among our more conservative members...All these traits work against true knowlegde, learning and science in general.
 
Fear and aggression - Yes, we are afraid of what our enemies can and have done to our country. Not only that but we are willing to act with aggression to stop such attacks.

Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity - Uh oh! It's true... we have morals and are unwilling to compromise them. We believe in such things as family, religion, and equality. We also rely on facts.

Uncertainty avoidance - We aren't going to believe something until there is evidence or substantial proof. Hearing something on the news isn't enough.

Need for cognitive closure - We like accurate and precise conclusions. "Just because" or "Because I said so" will not fly.

Terror management - This speaks for itself.

So, what is so bad about these traits? I am glad to have them.

it would be more appropriate to release a study of liberalism as well. This one may be accurate but it should be no surprise that both sides are pretty screwed up.

If they were trying to be scientific or unbiased, but that wasn't the point now was it? 😉

I do believe that "summary" is tainted😉 One of the researchers said that this summary took their research completely out of context. Oh well, believe what you must.

I would be interested to see the full results.
 
As if that was not enough to get Republican blood boiling, the report's four authors linked Hitler, Mussolini, Ronald Reagan and the rightwing talkshow host, Rush Limbaugh, arguing they all suffered from the same affliction.

I think we can safely add a few members of this forum to the list too 😉
