This Explains So Much: Researchers Discover 'Liberal' Gene

Apparently people can't help themselves. They're born stupid.

Don't hold liberals responsible for their opinion -- they can't help themselves.

A new study has concluded that ideology is not just a social thing; it's built into the DNA, borne along by a gene called DRD4. Tagged "the liberal gene," DRD4 is the first specific bit of human DNA that predisposes people to certain political views, the study's authors claim.

And the key to it all: Liberals are more open, said lead researcher James H. Fowler, a professor of both medical genetics and political science at the University of California, San Diego.

"The way openness is measured, it's really about receptivity to different lifestyles, for example, or different norms or customs," he told FoxNews.com. "We hypothesize that individuals with a genetic predisposition toward seeking out new experiences [a measure of openness] will tend to be more liberal" -- but only if they had a number of friends when growing up, Fowler cautioned.

That obviously explains the Olbermanns of the world.

Perhaps some day scientists will find a cure for liberalism. I'll support government funding for that.

This Could Explain the Nutroots

I've long figured liberalism was a mental disorder. Now researchers have discovered tantrums may be a sure sign of it.

Considering the left has had one long tantrum since George W. Bush was elected, this may offer definitive proof.

Tantrums may signal mental illness: study

CHILDREN who throw long, aggressive or frequent tantrums may be doing more than just showing mum and dad who is boss. They may be displaying early signs of a psychiatric disorder, a study says.

Tantrums are common among young children and are often a sign of hunger, illness or overstimulation, says a study by Washington University in St Louis.

But children who hurt themselves or others while throwing tantrums or who cannot calm themselves down may be diagnosed with depression or disruptive disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or oppositional defiant disorder.

It may also explain the affinity young folks have for crackpots like Ron Paul and the rampant Trooferism, most notably on the left with their weirdo 9/11 conspiracies.

Crushing Dissent Isn't Patriotic

Try disagreeing with a liberal and tell them you're being patriotic. See how far that gets you.

Check out this piece from the American Thinker.

Democrats Say We're too Patriotic!

Not only do Democrats not believe in patriotism, they also don't believe in dissent.

Whatever Howard Zinn may say to his pals at TomPaine.com, don't try to practice dissent any time soon, at least not around Democrats.

Try to suggest that we should reform Social Security and see where it gets you.

Try to suggest that we should give parents the right to send their children to the schools of their choice and see where it gets you.

Try to suggest that maybe the best place for a child is with its married biological mother and father and see where it gets you.

If Democrats don't believe in patriotism and they don't believe in dissent, what do they believe in?

Oh yes. Equality.
