You’re Damn Right, We’re Nicer! So bite me…

Peter Schweizer at the Daily Mail Says so quite eloquently and has some study info to prove it. Like we needed a study beyond sitting at any shopping mall food court and listening to they a gaggle of gals on their “Girls Day Out” talking.

He starts with a nice Orwell quote from The Road To Wigan Pier; one that I might have tattooed on my ass soon:

‘One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words socialism and communism draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, nature-cure quack, pacifist and feminist in England’

I am going to call someone a Nature- Cure Quack tomorrow. I am diggin’ that term for some reason.

There is plenty of data that shows that Right-wingers are happier, more generous to charities, less likely to commit suicide – and even hug their children more than those on the Left.

In my experience, they are also more honest, friendly and well-adjusted.

Much of this springs from the destructive influence of modern liberal ideas.

In the Sixties, we saw the beginning of a narcissism and self-absorption that gripped the Left and has not let go.

The full-scale embrace of the importance of self-awareness, self-discovery and being ‘true’ to oneself, along with the idea that the State should care for the less fortunate, has created a swathe of Left-wing people who want to outsource their obligations to others.

It all began with the Sexual Revolution a.k.a. Mommy is Going to Work and Hiring a Stranger She Wouldn’t Let Drive the Family Car Raise Her Children Era. I could rant for at least 5000 words on how this movement not only fucked up my generation of adults but all those that came after.  Not to mention totally emasculating men!  Of course these same women and their offspring females are the ones bitching and moaning about not being able to find a good man, gee wonder why? Anyway, that is another post entirely…

Many on the Left proudly proclaim themselves ‘child-free’. While some do not want children on ecological grounds, much has to do with the fact that they simply don’t want the responsibility of having a child.

When asked by the World Values Survey whether parents should sacrifice their own well-being for those of their children, those on the Left were nearly twice as likely to say No.

‘I’ll have babies if you pay for them,’ one Leftie blogger said on the social networking website yelp.com.

Billionaire Ted Turner, a self-described socialist, publicly regrets that he had five children. ‘If I was doing it over again, I wouldn’t have had that many,’ he says. ‘But I can’t shoot them now they’re here.’  (JenNote:  Do not worry Ted.  When Global Warming causing us all to cannibalize each other, you can eat your young.  We want all you leftist wieners fattened up for us in Texas when the shit hits the fan and we need something to bbq.)

All of this should not come as a surprise to anyone watching the drift of progressive thinking over the past 40 years.

You have how many children? Dear God, Jennifer! How do you find time to do anything for yourself? How do you and your husband have any sort of relationship?

How to answer this question?  Well, we are parents, you dumb fuck. Parents of children which are not to be confused with yipping lap dogs and house cats which you can leave to their own devices for a few days. I haven’t had Me Time in 10 years, but you know what? I really do not miss it too often.  Maybe because I do not have time to miss it. Maybe because as hard a job it is to raise kids, it is without a doubt the most rewarding thing you could ever do.

As to how my husband and I have any sort of relationship… Well, neither of us are under the impression our kids are some sort of inconvenience and believe it or not, there is life and quality time together to be had after the 8:45pm bedtime passes.

It is all about priorities, folks. When my husband and I get a night out we look forward to it and enjoy; but we are always checking the clock thinking, “We need to get home soon.” (That and we are getting old and want to be in a underwear with a remote in our hand by 9pm.)  Even when we know the kids are taken care of and probably sleeping. Why? Because we have to get up in the morning and do the things that keep a family going. So we leave the club at midnight or so instead of closing it down. Big deal.

Linda Hirshman tells women not to have more than one baby so they can concentrate on a career. ‘Find the money,’ she advises. Ah, the important things in life.

Yes, hugging trees and their girlfriends. It is all about this quest to live the Sex in The City Lifestyle. You know the one? Great shoes, cosmos with the girls, 1 kids if your Birth Control fails, and long hours lamenting how shitty men are and how all you really need to be happy is a Birken Bag, a pair of Jimmy Choos, and a dildo with rechargeable batteries.

Even when they do have children, research carried out at Princeton University shows liberals hug them less than conservatives. My wife thinks they’re too busy hugging trees.

They do not hug them, duh. That could be construed as aggressive physical contact they may someday take into the workplace where they may maintain eye contact for entirely too long; and into their adult lives where they could possible form healthy relationships! Perish the thought.

Both the World Values Survey and the General Social Survey reveal Left-wingers are more likely to rate ‘high income’ as an important factor in choosing a job, more likely to say ‘after good health, money is the most important thing’, and agree with the statement ‘there are no right or wrong ways to make money’.

You don’t need to explain that to Doug Urbanski, the former business manager for Left-wing firebrand and documentary-maker Michael Moore. ‘He [Moore] is more money-obsessed than anyone I have known – and that’s saying a lot,’ claims Urbanski.

Many on the Left apparently believe that espousing liberal ideals is a ‘get out of jail free’ card that inoculates them from the evils of the money culture.

Cherie Blair, for example, never lets her self-proclaimed socialist attitudes stop her making money. She is even willing to be paid (as she was in Australia) to appear at charity events.

Such progressives, sure that they are not overly interested in money and possessions, believe they are then free to acquire them.

Studies also indicate that those on the Left are less likely to give to charity or to volunteer their time to charity. When they do support charity, it is often less the sort of organisation that helps people and more one that advocates political action.

Uber-progressive Barbra Streisand gives lots of money to charity but the largest recipients are not organisations that feed the hungry – the cash goes to advocacy organisations such as The Bill Clinton Foundation.

Similarly, Michael Moore gives to film festivals and elite cultural institutions such as the Lincoln Center – but barely a penny goes to needy people.

So basically they are the self absorbed asshats we all know them to be. Ever had dinner with a true Progressive? It is an exercise in Enough about me; lets talk about how fabulous you think I am, barring that, I will continue to talk about me and my brilliant and enlightened P.O.V. Where as having dinner with me is a fucking joy! Well, it is entertaining anyway. The list of topics can range from politics, to sex, to the joys of raising four girls and Bravo’s Reality TV lineup. I am a woman of many facets and a bit of a scatter brain. Don’t knock it, folks… It works for my husband.

Progressives see economic equality as the highest form of social justice, so they have become obsessed with questions of income inequality.

Can there be any surprise then that those on the Left tend to be more envious and jealous of successful people? That’s what studies indicate.

Professor James Lindgren, of Northwestern University in Chicago, found those who favour the redistribution of wealth are more envious than those who do not.

Scholars at Oxford and Warwick Universities found the same sort of behaviour when they conducted an experiment.

Setting up a computer game that allowed people to accumulate money, they gave participants the option to spend some of their own money in order to take away more from someone else.

The result? Those who considered themselves ‘egalitarians’ (i.e. Left of centre) were much more willing to give up some of their own money if it meant taking more money from someone else.

Much of the desire to distribute wealth and higher taxation is motivated by envy – the desire to take more from someone else – and bitterness.

This is basically the Obama tax plan and the entire economic philosophy of the Dems in a nutshell.

The article is good and you should go read it…
