Palin makes me cringe, I'm no fan. But your thread went from zero to Nazi claims in one post.

Not trying to make this a sword fight and take away from this very useful thread you guys have going on over here. Does knowing what I do in my profession merit your point or stance? Lets just say I can write the prescriptions you can't.

Man you guys are the laughing stock of ATS, no wonder Liberalism is being acknowledged as a mental disease. You guys never make any sense.

Beyond your favorite radio and TV entertainers (experts that they are) please back-up your slur. As a clinical psychologist, I'd have to disagree. In fact, the lack of empathy is a hallmark of sociopathy, and boy do conservatives love to dis empathy. Furthermore, being a 'ditto-head' sounds like some type of disorder to me, but maybe we'll have to wait for the DSM V1 for an official classification.

Wow, does your professional classification even mean anything? Actually it makes me worry now that I think about it a little more. Most professional would sometimes overlook their own ills especially when they think they know better, as you being in the field you are. Healthcare industry professionals are notorious for self diagnosing and implementing a self treatment.

And the bias at ATS continues...
This thread would be considered political trolling and closed immediately IF it were comparing Obama to this star trek guy:

but since it is ok to bash Palin it continues...
the leftists leaning owners and mods of ATS are pathetically transparent...

I have to agree with skunknuts, that conservatives are less empathetic. Why do you suppose that is, since most conservatives claim so-called "Christian" values. I never could understand that.
Check these out and see if they ring true:
Whiners grow up to be conservatives
www.latimes.com...
Politically conservative agendas may range from supporting the Vietnam War to upholding traditional moral and religious values to opposing welfare. But are there consistent underlying motivations?
Four researchers who culled through 50 years of research literature about the psychology of conservatism report that at the core of political conservatism is the resistance to change and a tolerance for inequality, and that some of the common psychological factors linked to political conservatism include:
* Fear and aggression
* Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity
* Uncertainty avoidance
* Need for cognitive closure
* Terror management
