Merged Scientific Proof Liberalism is a Birth Defect / Genetically disposed

[Ziggurat]

They are at the end of the quotes.

Those are attributions. They aren't citations.

 

[Piscivore]

Would it not have been expeditious just to say what you are?

There isn't a tidy little pigeonhole for what I "am", politically. I vote my conscience, and I vote for who and what seems to agree with what I want to acheive at the time. As far as I'm concerned, "parties", platforms and ideologies represent where and the extent to which people have stopped thinking.

If you have to label me, you could call me an anti-partisan.

Yep. This is a citation:

Probably the greatest harm done by vast wealth is the harm that we of moderate means do ourselves when we let the vices of envy and hatred enter deep into our own natures.
But there is another harm; and it is evident that we should try to do away with that. The great corporations which we have grown to speak of rather loosely as trusts are the creatures of the State, and the State not only has the right to control them, but it is duty bound to control them wherever the need of such control is shown. [- T.R.]

Speech at Providence, Rhode Island (1902-08-23), Presidential Addresses and State Papers (1910), p. 103

So's this:

Every man holds his property subject to the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it. [- T.R.]

The New Nationalism (1910-08-31)

 

[Cicero]

Yep. This is a citation:


So's this:

If you could find these, then you surely found the T.R. quotes in my post.

"Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country."– Theodore Roosevelt, Kansas City Star (April 27, 1918)

And this was six years you say he objected to Taft's "increasingly conservative policies."

As I indicated above the (or at least a) trait that seems be important is that conservatives have stronger reaction to fear. In another study I saw this plays out as children who were future conservatives being more adverse to taking chances making them socially awkward, more likely to stay near their parents, less likely to explore, etc. Future liberals were more adventurous, more outgoing and generally took more risks.

Modern economies are so dynamic that being more likely to take risks is important to success, so it makes sense that liberals would tend to deal better with this.

Makes sense. I recall the time conservatives were driven into a frenzy when Obama entered office because they bought into the "Obama's gonna take yer guns!!!" nonsense and firearm sells went through the roof.

Rowing and golf are "adventurous?" The most fearsome thing FDR did was marry Eleanor.

Well there's yer problem! Those conservative goggles won't let you see entire posts!

 

[Cicero]

You have me confused with elbe, and he wears liberal goggles. I'm still waiting for anything FDR did in his youth that could be considered adventurous. A child learning to shoot firearms in the 19th century may be considered "adventurous" by today's liberals, but that was de rigueur at the time. Pledging Alpha Delta Phi is your idea of adventure? Unless FDR drove his Harley up the stairs of the frat house, your "Animal House" comparison is beyond absurd. Do you have any instances that are not the usual boyhood pursuits?
