* Seventy-one percent of conservatives say you have an obligation to care for a seriously injured spouse or parent versus less than half (46 percent) of liberals

* Conservatives have a better work ethic and are much less likely to call in sick than their liberal counterparts

* Liberals are two and a half times more likely to be resentful of others’ success and 50 percent more likely to be jealous of other people’s good luck

* Liberals are two times more likely to say it is ok to cheat the government out of welfare money you don’t deserve

* Conservatives are more likely than liberals to hug their children and “significantly more likely” to display positive nurturing emotions

* Liberals are less trusting of family members and much less likely to stay in touch with their parents

* Do you get satisfaction from putting someone else’s happiness ahead of your own? Fifty-five percent of conservatives said yes versus only 20 percent of liberals.http://current.com/community/93615781_liberals-are-less-hones...

-- Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).

-- Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood.

-- Residents of the states that voted for John Kerry in 2004 gave smaller percentages of their incomes to charity than did residents of states that voted for George Bush.

-- Bush carried 24 of the 25 states where charitable giving was above average.

-- In the 10 reddest states, in which Bush got more than 60 percent majorities, the average percentage of personal income donated to charity was 3.5. Residents of the bluest states, which gave Bush less than 40 percent, donated just 1.9 percent.

-- People who reject the idea that "government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality" give an average of four times more than people who accept that proposition.

    "way to stupid", "there own failings", "or just how rediculous"

    Corrections:
    way too stupid, their own failings, or just how ridiculous

    This is simply the conservative mirror syndrome. They look in the mirror and say " That guy looking back at me must be a "Liberal" 'cause he's lazy, dishonest and greedy.

    All you have to do is look at the Conservatives-in-Charge on Wall Street and see the "DAILY" lazy, dishonest and greedy squandering of BILLIONS, (even Trillions), of dollars (and pounds), then look at how badly the dishonest and greedy Romney wants to deregulate and make "Dishonest and greedy" EASIER, (with little or NO consequence!), to understand WHY the new Conservative mantra is: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the MOST dishonest and greedy of ALL??" (Wouldn't he make a GREAT President?)

    I'd say LOL, but it really isn't funny! It's a disgrace to Capitalism, It's a disgrace to America...."liberals" are the minority here!

    These are mostly generalized assumptions that need to stop. (I also agree that generalized assumptions about Conservatives by Liberals need to stop as well.) Here is my view of Liberalism in America. We liberals (including myself) tend to do things in groups; I hate doing things by myself (unless I have to do it by myself because other people will just mess it up) It is the pack mentality that we have. We split workloads up among each other so that no one person is doing more or less than the other person and acheive goal completion in a faster time than that of doing everything myself. As an observation, most conservatives do not have this "pack mentality" or that they do not use it more than liberals. Conservatives instead have the "individuality complex". In nature, the Pack mentality is more common than that of the individuality complex. Granted, the pack tactics displayed by liberals is not perfect due to innate human desires. There will always be those who manipulate the system for their own personal greater good (individuality complex). So to call liberals lazy is incorrect, we like to think of it as working as a team efficiently. As for work ethic, the individual will always be seen for being "awsome" than the time effective group. Like not all Conservatives are greedy...

So to call liberals lazy is incorrect, we like to think of it as working as a team efficiently. As for work ethic, the individual will always be seen for being "awsome" than the time effective group. Like not all Conservatives are greedy, liberals are not all greedy. I speak for myself, I told this one lady on SH I would glady pay more in taxes if the Afforable Healthcare Act was defined as constitutional (which it was). I now wait for my taxs to increase so that people, most (not all because of the ones who manpilulate the system) less fortunate than me can live a life not burdened by bills. And in the end, they will return the care back to me. We liberals attempt to follow the golden rule- "do onto others as you would like them to do onto you". That is way liberals tend to favor the more socialistic economy more than capitalism. Captialism is like Darwin's qoute about evolution- "the survival of the fittest". Only the strongest companies may survive. I came from a country of where capitalism was in its rawest state and it was saddening. There was poverty everywhere and only the strongest lived nicely. Not all people get the same opportunity to become a well-doing person as capitalism proposes. That is why liberals support market regulation, so that people don't become victims of any corporate greed. For people who live by/ or in the the city, take a drive around. Take a stop around the "rich" niegborhood and then the "poor" niegborhood. In other words, liberals want to remove greed from human nature through regulation. I personally support a hybrid market system of both socialism and capitalism (and believe it or not, the two can co-exists together) where each sysyem keeps each other in check.

    I agree with the definition.. Pack Mentality as applies to liberals.. just like a pack of wolves.. but if you were a pack of wolves you would have starved to death already by that same mentality cause you aren't as smart or nearly as resourceful as wolves. Besides, wolves have a leader that proves himself.. liberals follow the clown.
  • Janoy D... SunShine 2012/07/13 23:54:03

    The pack mentality is also used in the military, but are they starving...no. There is a chain of command in the pack. The people elected the "alpha" in our case, but if it were to look like a actual wolf pack, it would be a dictatorship happening. The position of "Alpha" is not given to the wolf by elections, but taken by force. Plus there will be no disrespect of presidents past and present on my post. They we're all good people how took the challenge of leading a nation. Being a follower is easy, but being a leader is hard.

    You said.......

    "So to call liberals lazy is incorrect, we like to think of it as working as a team efficiently. "

    This is exactly the mind of a liberal. Let's change the words to make us look a bit better.

    Brilliant!!!

    In no way was I wanting to change words around to make myself or others look better than other people. I was simply saying it as I have observed it. Being in the military, Pack mentality is a MUST. My facility manager always says "One team, one fight" and this is the way I live my life. One person can only do sooo much before they require assistance from others. People all have the basic animal instinct to group together when posed with danger. Liberals use that instinct more efficiently in real life situations. I'm all for independent dealings, but your gonna "need a shoulder to lean on". I am trying maintain dialogues with conservatives counterparts while maintain a form of decorum about myself. So can we talk like the civil people we are?

    You have to be kidding me. Offensive level is to the max. I am a VERY hard worker. One day I was ordered to go home even though I had some small baking task remaining to do (I am a cook) I remember coming in on my days off and started to man the grills when the shift was well manned. If anything at all, I am a workaholic. AS an observation in my workplace, the people who would be considered vote republican are the ones that hate the job, slacked more often, and tend to be in more trouble than myself.

    It's too general, because not all are.


    My mom get's up everyday to work and make a living. She works SO SO hard to make our family business start, so that we can not just help this country, but other countries eat healthier. We're going to go to Africa to teach Africans a new and easy way to grow ANY food, even if it's not the right season, for a new way we invented to grow crops organically.

    She's a VERY honest woman, and wouldn't tell a lie.

    She's obviously not greedy, because of what I've already talked about, and because she got a college degree in a major that leans towards helping people with their needs.

    THE END.
