Research Concludes Conservatives are Happier Than Liberals

Honestly, they needed to do a study to conclude this?

Geez, just walk around and see all the scowling liberals on any college campus or moonbat enclave.

In fact, when was the last time a liberal was happy?

Individuals with conservative ideologies are happier than liberal-leaners, and new research pinpoints the reason: Conservatives rationalize social and economic inequalities.

Regardless of marital status, income or church attendance, right-wing individuals reported greater life satisfaction and well-being than left-wingers, the new study found.

Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a person's tendency to justify, or explain away, inequalities.

The rationalization measure included statements such as: "It is not really that big a problem if some people have more of a chance in life than others," and "This country would be better off if we worried less about how equal people are."

Leftists being irrational?

Whodathunkit?

"Our research suggests that inequality takes a greater psychological toll on liberals than on conservatives," the researchers write in the June issue of the journal Psychological Science, "apparently because liberals lack ideological rationalizations that would help them frame inequality in a positive (or at least neutral) light."

The results support and further explain a Pew Research Center survey from 2006, in which 47 percent of conservative Republicans in the U.S. described themselves as "very happy," while only 28 percent of liberal Democrats indicated such cheer,

The 53% of conservatives who didn't rate as very happy apparently live near too many liberals.

If you want to see some leftist rage, just let them know News Corp's quarterly profit just tripled.

NEWS Corporation's quarterly net profit has tripled on higher advertising sales at the Fox TV network and Fox News Channel, as well as a big one-time gain from its stock swap with Liberty Media.

The owner of 20th Century Fox and MySpace said overnight its fiscal third-quarter profit rose to $US2.7 billion ($2.87bn), from $US871m in the year-ago period. The latest results included a $US1.7bn gain from its swap with Liberty Media.
