People with liberal views tended to have increased grey matter in the anterior cingulated cortex, a region of the brain linked to decision-making, in particular when conflicting information is being presented. Previous research showed that electrical potentials recorded from this region during a task that involves responding to conflicting information were bigger in people who were more liberal or left wing than people who were more conservative.

Conservatives, meanwhile, found increased grey matter in the amygdala, an area of the brain associated with processing emotion. This difference is consistent with studies which show that people who consider themselves to be conservative respond to threatening situations with more aggression than do liberals and are more sensitive to threatening facial expressions.

No surprise here. Study from the University of Arkansas.

Abstract: The authors test the hypothesis that low-effort thought promotes political conservatism. In Study 1, alcohol intoxication was measured among bar patrons; as blood alcohol level increased, so did political conservatism
(controlling for sex, education, and political identification). In Study 2, participants under cognitive load reported more conservative attitudes than their no-load counterparts. In Study 3, time pressure increased participants’ endorsement of conservative terms. In Study 4, participants considering political terms in a cursory manner endorsed conservative terms more than those asked to cogitate; an indicator of effortful thought (recognition memory) partially mediated the relationship between processing effort and conservatism. Together these data suggest that political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases.

a conservative guy.

Makes sense.

Liberals are more intelligent. Really. Here is an intelligence test. Lets see who gets the right answer, a simple yes or no answer, OK

Test:

Do you want four more years of Obama? Yes---- No.

Lessee - so that's why not forcing taxpayers to pay for sandra fluke's slut activities caused hordes of emotional women to support Hussein?

Is it why OWS robots screech at bank buildings after MTV got them all upset?

Is it why (non-conservative) blacks had lots of emotional demonstrations after the Trayvon Martin killing?

Grin

Not to mention the logical, intelligent rhetoric from the pro-choice crowd when they screech about how limiting late term abortions will bring back the era of the coat hanger.

Or how the anti-war activists like Cindy Sheehan and Codepink calmly and intelligently presented their cases in our nation's capital.

Or the deeply wise words of Maxine Waters.

Seriously, does anyone believe these hack studies?
