Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, December 17, 2009

Imagine taking a sip from your drink, only to realize that it belongs to a stranger. Grossed out? If so, then you may be a conservative thinker. High "disgust sensitivity," or a tendency to react strongly to things you think are gross, can predict political conservatism, researchers say. Less turned off? That could indicate more liberal views.

This article just pisses me off!

If you are a coward you are probably a con.

This snippet is interesting, but not true at all in my case. I am very calm, relaxed, not grossed out by shit. Live and let live, and I pray for zombie Reagan to be brought back to supply side America back to glory.

Not true about the public restrooms - conservatives tend to steer clear of them due to the disgust factor - HA!

181 participants were tested for how they'd react to unpleasant situations, such as finding an unflushed toilet in a public restroom. Then they were asked about their political leanings.

It's hard to believe this garbage is passed off as journalism. This is one reason why MSM is dying.

The unflushed toilet reminds me of the current congress.

"Two recent studies link disgust sensitivity with conservative attitudes on gay marriage and abortion. In one, 181 participants were tested for how they'd react to unpleasant situations, such as finding an unflushed toilet in a public restroom. Then they were asked about their political leanings. Researchers found a correlation between being easily disgusted and politically conservative."

Oh for Fuck's sake.... This is a legitimate scientific study? Give me a break. Rush could do the same "study" and conclude that liberals like shit more than conservatives do because they don't mind a floater in the bowl. It would be just as legitmate a conclusion.

What a bunch of nonsense.

Mention the word Bush or Palin, and you don't need a scientific study to see what it does to the Libbie pants pissers.

How much do you wanna bet that the author is a gay liberal?

What does disgust have to do with it. Maybe conservatives simply want people to clean up their own fucking mess, and take care of their own damn selves. I guess the opposite of that is liberalism, though. Sorry, just a little disgusted with this idiotic piece of crap article.

If wishes were horses, Wissy, you'd be a contendah for the Triple Crown.

I have noticed that some of our leftist friends are extremely slovenly and messes don't seem to bother them much. Probably trying to solve the world's ills.

"Maybe conservatives simply want people to clean up their own fucking mess"

Too rich, considering the mess Dubya and the Conservatives left for others to clean up.

If Grey Goose was water, you'd be sober.

There are things that others find disgusting that smell like money to me.

How the hell did it take 14 posts before someone blamed Bush?!? Retorters are laying down on the job.

Too rich, considering the mess Dubya and the Conservatives left for others to clean up.

part of the disgust of acutal conservatives is that Dubya and his cronies posed as conservatives and a lot of people fell for it.

Eberly my first vote was for President Bush (2004). Then he threw a shit ton of money at New Orleans after Katrina, nominated Harriet Meyers(sp?) and let record pork filled energy bills through.

You are right, there is some disgust there.

I couldn't pull the trigger for the Reporting for Duty challenger.

"Examining Census Bureau data since 1939, the authors found that fewer low-wage employees live in poor households today than in years past. Specifically, in 1939, 85 percent of low-wage employees1 were living in poor households. By 2003, only 17 percent of low-wage employees were living in poor households. Consequently, attempting to target poor families by manipulating wages is an inefficient means of addressing the problem."

Cause and effect. If it's not going to fix the problem, try something else. But raising the minimum wage is a constant liberal mantra, but no one can point to any actual improvements over the last few years while those wages have been statutorily increases.

Wow, how did that end up on this thread? Something's fucked in my browser, sorry.

Good post anyway......

I'm disgusted with myself. Does that make me liberal or conservative?

If you piss away a paycheck or 2 to make yourself feel better and miss your mortgage payment in the process, Liberal.

You are self hating, so you are being rather liberal.

don't forget to blame a republican for it at the same time.

...while smoking a J.

You guys are too funny.

I guess that explains the difference in the cities after a "tea party" gathering and any liberal gathering. The conservatives didn't trash the place, but I never made the connection before.

It isn't just that the tea party attendies are better people, it is also that they aren't a bunch of lazy slobs.

Wot? Conservatives are you talking about, Nanc?

Larry Craig?

Bob Allan?

^_^

Be Well.

So how soon can I take this test on Facebook along with the "which shakra is my strongest"? I've been meaning to get a better handle on my personality.

they also dont smell bad

AH but here is the difference I see

we may be disgusted but libs are disgustING!

Wait wait wait... did you read the last statement?


"Because disgust is a reaction to perceived impurity, he says, it might inform conservative values such as opposing homosexuality, gay marriage and abortion."

So the professor from Harvard thinks that homosexuality, gay marriage, and abortion are impure? Sounds like someone needs to go back to sensitivity training.

what we are disgusted with is the prevailing anti ameircan sentiment of the far left that has now taken over the dnc.
dont like the use of the words unamerican?

well lets look at that

the left hates free market capitalism...the means of our richness that equates to greatness

they want more taxes, wasnt that the point of 1776

and they want more and more govt control much in the vein of places like cuba and venezuela..

well??????????????????

are there any reasonable arguments against my commments or will they be met with the standard liberal fuck attacks?

"they want more taxes, wasnt that the point of 1776"

No.

First Aflakabibblebabble's head-slammned against the mat take-down of the day.

Well ...its hard to be disgusted about anything when you don't have any morals or values.

This article just pisses me off!

IF it was, it was only on a technicallity,...

so anger against being taxed with no representation WASNT A reason to seperate from mother england?

WOW...are you going to give us a newsbreaker here or what?????

#40 | Posted by afkabl2

Sorry, not a "technicality." What you said was, "they want more taxes, wasnt that the point of 1776" and I correctly pointed out that you were wrong. So you attempt to move the goalposts.

Taxation, not the amount but without representation was part of the problem -- although many colonials argued they were virtually represented (just as those on the losing side of elections are "virtually" represented). And there were other problems as well, having to do with a perceived need for greater control over their own governance.

But it's lost on you, so I don't know why I bother trying to bring even a little lumination to the dark cave of ignorance that represents your "thoughts" on matters political.

I'll chalk it up to being, at heart, something of an optimist.

I am disgusted by their lack of disgust!

naw doc

it was a clerical error...

THEY meaning dems want more...

sorry for the confusion.........

MORE DISGUSTING DEM actions

money from stimulus HAD to be done overnight

and virtually ONE YEAR later...only 12% spent with other monies set to be spent
RIGHT BEFORE ELECTIONS

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

can you BELIEVE the odds that they are set to be spent at THAT TIME.,...

well I NEVER........

"it was a clerical error..."

The unpaid fluffer for the apoprentice scriver for Mr. Robert "Bob" Cratchit's unpaid underassistant at Ebenezer Scrooge's House of Usury has a "clerk" working for him?

MORE DIGUSTING BEHAVIOR fROM DEMs

blogs.abcnews.com

its not THIS shit that disgusts me, its when the left turns around and calls republicans fear mongers and people actually believe them ...

"the left hates free market capitalism...the means of our richness that equates to greatness

What the left hates is unbridled, unchecked, "I'm rich - fuck you" capitalism.

"...since 1949 Democratic administrations have done better than Republican ones when it comes to unemployment (5.2% to 6.0%), job creation (-.0.4% decrease in unemployment, compared to 0.3% increase), GDP growth rate (4.2% to 2.9%), and even corporate profits as a share of GDP. And to be sure, he found the Dow benefits from Democrats in the White House."
Economy under Democrats vs Republican control

Another thing that seperates Libs from Dems is the righties bitch-whining when someone challenges their "macho-ness", as evident by the posts in this thread.

As for Libs being un-American...

"As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."

AND FINAL POST OF THE MORNING

(sit down and stop clapping)

lets post this from the dem senator from arkansas...she only has a few months left in this position according to polls that has her behind FOUR no name republicans

www.thefoxnation.com

ah good one billy
break out the washington quotes..

how about a couple from his farewell speach.....

hasta laredo

sorry but forgot one

here is a name to remember

lt col alan west

candidate for congress from florida.,
heard him on lauara ingrahams show this morning

a black conservative vetern running against obama for president in 2012,.,.

SHIT would that be downright delicious or what???????????????????

and RUBIO closing in on CHRIS in florida...
conservatives on the move....

"ah good one billy
break out the washington quotes.."

Thank you.

I'm sure your citations from Redstate and Foxnews carries much more weight than any thing the "Father of our Country" could have said.

Oh, and it's speech, not speach...

Just sayin'

P.S.

EEEEDIOTS!!!
---Ren Hoek----

Don't they mean more easily seduced?

I think the article is total bullshit. Republicans all have their best sex in a public toilet and liberals find the idea repulsive, plus they don't have to resort to such foul practices. Liberals tend to be able to get along better with their partners at home. I mean think about it, who wants to say their prayers before having sex in the missionary position only on Sunday?

That's because they spend all their time
with people just like them.

I'm not so sure it's matter of how we're made up versus the idea that many cons are overly dramatic.

I wonder if your party will be calling him "The Magic Negro"?

Do you think they'll still send out postcards showing watermelons all over the front lawn of the WH?

This is complete and utter garbage. This is completely untrue and is not founded on anything but a guaranteed inadequate sampling of people, some of which probably couldn't even define the difference between liberal and conservative.

#50 - HE IS HOT, bee ell two!

and virtually ONE YEAR later...only 12% spent with other monies set to be spent
RIGHT BEFORE ELECTIONS

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

can you BELIEVE the odds that they are set to be spent at THAT TIME.,...

I know, it's almost like... starting a war right before the elections and then arguing "you don't change horses mid-stream."

Oh the outrage!

This is the biggest bunch of bullshit. I never over react when I think something is gross. Most of the time I don't even mention it and I'm a conservative. I'm also liberal when it comes to certain things.

Conservatives More Easily Disgusted

That's because they have to put up with liberals

If Grey Goose was water, you'd be sober.

#15 | POSTED BY WISGOD

whats your excuse then?

Actually liberals are more likely to disgust other people!

know, it's almost like... starting a war right before the elections and then arguing "you don't change horses mid-stream."
