NY Times: Conservatives are happier than liberals

Not really surprising, is it?

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/08....html?_r=2

It's just the NY Times farking with conservatives, right? Because saying things that might be positive about conservative is something that should not be believed from NYT if my teachings from Fox have any value...

Wait for it...

Wait for it....

Ignorance is bliss!

I keed, I keed.

I'd say those who are apolitical are far happier.

The truly blessed.

But the same study also said extremists were happier than anyone.

Why doesn't anybody try to prove a group's superiority or inferiority by actually showing how they're superior or inferior on important matters, instead of playing silly games favored by marketing majors?

Not surprising to me, seeing that nearly every Liberal I have ever known, seems to have a huge stick up their ass, and a chip on their shoulder.

On the other hand, this "poll" is farking retarded.

Heh. Irony.

How so...

Quote from OhNoItsDEVO : How so...

Just simply look at the number of threads on TP started by angry, whiny conservatives. Then look at all of the angry, paranoid conservative commentators who bitch about every single program that they think it's going to cost them at least an extra penny from their annual income while completely overlooking any positive outcome that it can potentially bring. All they care about is themselves and their families and they never take the big picture into consideration or anyone else.

Yeah, you'd think the fact that most liberals don't have to pay much toward all those programs would make them happier people.....

Well sure, there are a lot of angry whiny conservative commentators.
There are also plenty Liberal commentators who have those same hang ups. Just watch MSNBC on any given night...

But I was just talking more about real life experiences.
My experience has been that most of the liberals I have known over the years, have seemed to have very large sticks up their asses...

Quote from OhNoItsDEVO : How so...

Just that the last few posts I've read of yours come across as quite angry.

Thanks for proving the "ignorancy is bliss" explanation.

"It's not true that conservatives are richer than Liberals. Liberals are actually richer than conservatives."

And polls like this aren't new. They've been going on for years.
