I enjoyed the thread. Thanks for posting it. I am 62 and was born and raised liberal. After voting for Clinton I joined a conservative church and found myself the only Democrat there. I ended up voting for Bush because I just got worn out trying to defend Clinton, who imho only became President because he was a CIA asset. I didn't want to vote for the party that killed Kennedy but followed along and voted for Bush in 2000 because of abortion. But the whole thing was a sham. except that Clinton was CIA and that the Bushes were in on the JFK thing. The whole political system has been hijacked. Both parties are equally culpable because they are one organization,the global-agenda-depopulation party controls both Republican and Democrat organizations. There are still some good individuals in each, Sarah Palin is amazing, but she must have had to go along with the globalists to get as far as she did.

The OP may be onto something. . Perhaps "conservatives" are happier people.
Some of the happiest people I know are the least informed, shopping at Wal-Mart, fast food five times a week and American Idolatry on the tee-vee. .
There is truth to the saying: Ignorance is Bliss.

Take Obama, the MAN IS A CONSERVATIVE, he supports liberal ideals, combined the liberal votes, gay, Black and Other into a win... he offers health care and slams against the rich.
But in practice he's a Conservative, he doesn't even give out presents on xmas... he's tight, pinchy, relatively healthy, hard working.
If he wasn't he couldn't be successful...

Liberalism has become Dogmatic, inflexible, abusive to others... (which you certainly are being) incapable of hearing another point of view...
It basically really is a reversal of Nazi philosophy in which any lifestyle no matter how corrosive or at the least not useful to society has absolute Voice and Tradition has none...
NO, it's totally not... I'd say as a human being I am actually Liberal, I have an open mind, by LIBERALISM was Hijacked long ago!
It's not actual Liberal at all anymore, it's just blanket policies that revolve around minority issues, lifestyle gaia theory and hatred of faith
Conservative activists in the Republican Party are pushing a proposal to deny funding to GOP candidates who fail what is being called a purity test, a move that is being met with skepticism by some Republican commentators. The proposal, being pushed by 10 Republican National Committee members, calls for money to be withheld from candidates who disagree with more than two of 10 conservative principles.

Most of them work for the money to pay for that fast food and those TVs.
The liberals are supported by the largest blocks of voters that are supported by government subsidies such as welfare and social security.
Are the people who pay for that stuff with a government handout as happy as the ones who earned their own money?
You can be elitist and look down your nose at them but more conservative voters are paying their own way than liberal voters.
Maybe that's why they are happier.
