I’m going to jump on the Blogwagon today to comment about this so-called study out of Berserkely that Whiny kids grow up to be Conservatives and Self-assyred kids grow up to be Liberals. I laughed when I read it. This rates right up there with the old blue state people are smarter than red state people song and dance routine that went around during the last election. This is nothing more than another attempt to make Conservatives out to be mentally ill. A couple of years ago, some Moonbats out of the University of Maryland tried to feed us that tripe.
From the article in the Toronto Star:
There's no reason to think political bias skewed the ratings — the investigators were not looking at political orientation back then. Even if they had been, it's unlikely that 3- and 4-year-olds would have had much idea about their political leanings.
That is correct. Politics is pretty much the last thing a toddler is thinking about. For this so-called study to have any chance at credibility, numerous factors need to be taken into account. Influences from parents, teachers, clergy, neighbors, friend, etc. all need to be accounted for.
This slimy attempt by leftist eggheads to try to find away to politicize psychology and attempt to portray those of us on the right as somehow mentally ill is indicative of just how low some of them are willing to stoop to change the political landscape.
If I may interject my own analysis, If we were whiny growing up, the left is whiny WHEN they grow up. If you listen to the left, they are constantly whining about the rich or the evil corporations, etc. They want free this and free that and they don’t just ask, they demand. Come to think of it, there’s also one other trait of the confident kid in school. They were usually the bullies.
You can’t make this stuff up folks. This is another example of liberal self-parody.

VW, you are giving the left way too much credit. This is nothing more than a self congratulatory circle jerk. Something they can stand around the water cooler and pat themselves on the back that not only are they always right all the time in politics, they weren't whiny kids
Releavancy aside I'm still curious how being a whiny kid translates into being self reliant, responsable and fiscally minded. Perhaps if the study pointed that out I'd be more impressed.

Confused, the bullies calling the bullied bullies? fed (or brainwashed) on democracy since 1st grade I truly believed "all men (as in humans) are created equal". Reality, is very much different. Being "Liberal", I think means giving others the Freedom to live as they choose, which is what "Conservative's" try to destroy, making them truly anti-American's. Wish they'd pack up and go back to England, and leave the States to those who believe in liberty and freedom of choice, which is what the founding fathers of the USA founded the country for.

Talk about whiny!!!!! Ma, you are one whiny person! I seriously doubt you have even the slightest notion as to what the founding fathers intended. They believed in freedom, but their idea and yours (and even mine) are way, way different from theirs. I'm willing to bet you couldn't name 5 of them without googling.
You see, in my America, you can have your view. I don't care if you stay or go. Up to you. You, on the otherhand are a typical intolerant moonbat. You don't love freedom. You don't want people to live here and think like I do. You are a damn hypocrite. Thank you for putting it on display.
You are the one who is anti-American. You and Stalin have a lot in common. Idiot Moonbat!
I almost forgot, MA. This is MY native land. My people were here first. My people were forced from their lands by people like you and your ancestors. On second thought, you go back to Europe!
