I was just poking through the news today and came across an article that says that a study shows that Conservatives are happier then Liberals because we are more rational.  LMAO - I could've told them that.

Not at all surprising , the fundamental difference between Con/Lib is that as a con I blame my self for my circumstance and when I want or need something I work and get it ! A Lib will find something they want or need , figure out a way to blame someone els for the fact that they don't have it and sit around complaining about never getting it....so DU ! Conservatives will always be happier.

I am still a bit confused..I mean when I was young there was either democrat or republicans..now in the past 10 years or so I hear all this liberal, conservative and independent. I sort of figured out the independent BUT CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THE OTHER TWO??? thanks

Conservative = Republican

Independent = Whatever they choose for the time being

RM for the most part is right but only NOW and only in the most vulgar of ways. The old (original) definitions of Lib/Con are simple ...Conservatives are for the conservative use of government (and control over how much it invades our every day life) Liberals are for the liberal application of government into every aspect of our lives MORE government is always better for a liberal outlook : higher taxes , more rules , social programs replacing free market opportunity etc...the reason we (Cons) say it with such contempt is that a “Liberal” view point is indistinguishable from a Communist view point !

I say that this description and the placing of all Americans into one or the other is “vulgar” because the actual political position of the average person is not far left (liberal) or far right (conservative) but is closer to the middle So one would think that an independent would be somewhere in the middle...unfortunately all independents (so far) are people who fall farther to the right of conservatives than Republicans or farther to the left than Democrats ! So they are extremist nuts.

Great question BTW Candy ! I wish more people stopped to think about what we are doing and why here is a good link :
http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html

That will explain a lot and help you understand where you actually stand in the “name game”...I bet you find yourself as a “centrist” leaning to libertarianism !

Not only that, WE can sleep at night, because our decisions are one that don't come back to haunt us!

Here it is in a NUTSHELL Candy..

A Liberal believes in GIVING a person a fish for the rest of their lives,THUS keeping them dependent and therefore maintaining a CONTROL over them..

A Conservative believes in TEACHING a person HOW to fish,,THUS freeing that person FROM dependency and making THAT person responsible,, self-sufficient with a Dignity that comes with Accomplishment and a sense of Pride in One's self..

Yea Hawk and even at that I only really care about the fact that they are stealing all those fish from those of us who have bothered to teach ourselves to fish AND telling us that we have to FISH more to support the growing line of “fish for a day” bums that they are creating..........

I really don't know all too much about Newt. He was out in favor of McCrud, so I'm not really suprised.

Well the Republicans are doing a heck of a job teaching the Iraqi's democracy. I'm much more happy as a Democrat. I tried being a republican, but I couldn't stand being ignorant that long. :)

The very core of liberalism is rooted in misery. Just listen to Michelle Obama - the world's most MISERABLE millionaire (well, perhaps next to George Soros).

If it weren't for the "downtrodden", there would be NO democrat party.

Conservatism means that you DO FOR YOURSELF. Liberalism means that everyone ELSE does for you.

Here's another fact - more blood donors are conservative than liberal.

Hmmm, I'm a formal liberal, who graudally shifted more to the right as the years went by. I'm not a true Conservative though, as I'm not really religous. I'm more of a Libertarian (NOT to be confused with a Liberal).

I will agree, though, that Conservatives are generally more happy, or at least less bitter, than Liberals are. Usually have more common sense, too, unless they're "bible thumpers".

J_D: Religion (or lack thereof) has nothing to do with conservatism. That is a stereotype perpetuated by the liberally-biased media.

That's not to say that most people of deep religious conviction are not conservative.

But conservatism is a philosophy that individuals are free to choose their own path in life and make (or NOT make) themselves successful and happy.

Liberalism is all about "woe is me" and "scr*w the rich". Liberals try to make you feel badly for feeling good. Feeling good is the antithesis of liberalism.

The "bible thumpers" give conservatism a bad rap.

But I salute you for being a reformed liberal. Good for you!

Let me guess...you WORK for a living?

Wow, and we didn't need a study to figure it out. lol The things they won't do studies on always amaze me. That article just made me laugh so hard.

Great point, rexsmom!

Such a study would be akin to one that says that people with one leg run slower than those with two.

...to all you “happy people” LOL , don't let liberals define what you must be as a conservative. They get so very angry and stop their little feet and pout when we describe what they are but expect to get a free pass by labeling what we are (inappropriately !) and then objecting to a viewpoint that they have projected onto us.....you can be a “pro choice Republican” you can be a “Jewish conservative” you can be anything you want and still be opposed to the “liberal” view point ! ...inversely we all know what happens if a democrat steps out of line with the “party” !!!!!!

Heck, if I believed that god was handling everything and that the oil would never run out I wouldn't give a crap either.

I'm a pretty happy blogger anyway though.

It must be nice to just ignore everything and not care. But, as for the study, I dunno. You see a lot of hateful language here from the "conservatives". I think they should do the study again. "Dimocraps, dumbocraps, liberals, obama is a muslim and we hate muslims, etc."

Go ahead and deny it, but your words are right here.

My conservative friends are always sending me emails bashing one person or another. Cons may be happy but they sure don't show it.

I don't think of myself as a liberal, at least not the type I have seen on TV who think you're scum if you don't agree with them. Seems both sides are pretty nasty when they wanna be.
