Poppycock study finds liberal gene

Did you read this? Researchers claim they have found the liberal gene. Researchers have found that "ideology is affected not just by social factors, but also by a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4. That and how many friends you had during high school.

It only makes sense that socializing during adolescence will result in more liberal behavior, because those who are busy "socializing" are not reading books. And there are things you can learn from books -- like facts -- that you cannot learn from socializing.

Socializing, while good, also doesn't challenge you intellectually. Well, socializing can challenge you intellectually, yet most of the time it's small talk and gossiping.

The researchers concluded that political affiliation is not just associated with "social environment and social interactions."

I think this study is a bunch of poppy cock. It's basically liberal scientists trying to make sense of the fact that 60% of this country is Conservative, and this is true even while 80% of Hollywood actors, teachers and journalists (those teaching our kids and us) are liberal.

The whole purpose of this study is to try to find a reason why conservatives still exist, and what we can do to shut them up. This is necessary, because the U.S. Constitution stands in the way of much of the liberal agenda.

This study is also a means (in my humble opinion at least) for liberals to feel good about themselves in a time when the country seems to be rejecting liberal philosophy more and more in recent years. It helps them to feel good when they are otherwise set for a major set back.

Or, better yet, a way to help explain to Conservatives that Obama's radical and socialistic associations of the past had nothing to do with how liberal he is today.

A humble report on the news networks

Just in case you were wondering where the best place is to find the most news with the least bias, I have decided here to do an honest and pithy analysis of the all the TV news sources.

Here goes:

1. Fox: They seem to be optimistic and patriotic. This is the only channel you will see true conservative opinion on, which is kind of a shocker to me considering polls show 23% of Americans say they are conservative and only 14% admit to being liberal. Likewise, a majority of Americans tend to lean just to the right of center, as I proved in this article. So it only makes sense Conservatives should have a voice somewhere. And, since you do see conservative opinion on Fox News, many anchors on the other channels say Fox is conservative. Actually, you will also find an equal number of Conservatives as Liberals as Independents as Libertarians. All political affiliations are represented on this channel. You will also see liberal democrats, moderate democrats, moderate republicans and conservative republicans represented. The news on this channel does seem to be fair and balanced as they claim.


2. CNN: This is actually a good news channel, but when it comes to opinion they tend to only show the opinions of moderate republicans paired with any kind of democrat. It is for this reason that many conservatives gave up on this network and tuned into Fox. Also, many Independents and Liberals turned this channel off years ago because they like to know what's going on over in the conservative world, and they surreptitiously turned Fox on. The philosophy here is it's better to know all the news even if we don't like it than some of it. Some liberals still think that all the political viewpoints that need to be given a voice are fully represented by CNN. Some people actually call this the independent network. Still, it's not Independents who run the political world, and (unfortunately for Ted Turner) most Independents don't watch the news nor care about it, so that's why Fox kills in the daily ratings.


3. MSNBC: Well, let it be known that this is now officially the Kieth Oberman Network. The other day I even watched NBC sports and he was a sports commentator. I watched the democrat and republican conventions, and he was the anchor for that. Then, during the presidential debates he was a political commentator because many people said he was too bias to be the official anchor of MSBC (of which he was during the conventions). This is where you go when you want to know what the liberal part of the democratic party is up too. It's kind of their version of Rush Limbaugh, only without the ratings. Heck, even Hardball tends to swing left handed. That only makes sense since Chris Matthews used to work for a democrat.


4. CBS/ NBC/ABC: I lumped these all into one because who the heck watches them anymore these days. I imagine it's the baby boomers and the parents of baby boomers. The rest of us get our news from the Internet and go to Fox and CNN for opinion. These networks tend to be satellites for the New York Times. If you get that paper, you won't need to watch these three major networks because all they do is spew what the Times already reported. And, of course, we know the Times is yet another satellite of the DNC. So, I suppose these three networks are surrogates for the Times.


5. PBS: Does anyone really get their news from here? I have yet to find someone who admits to it. So I will have to pass on commenting. Although some of my surrogates tell me this channel is in bed with the DNC too. But I have yet to watch to find out.

That's my humble analysis of TV news. More reporting will come later. Thanks for tuning in.

A galloping media poll

Sure we know all these polls that show Obama ahead anywhere from 2-12 are completely unbiased, even though most of them were completed by media outlets that are official satelights of the Obama campaign.

What I am posting here are some of the questions on the latest Gallop daily tracking poll. Just thought you'd like to know what some of the most common questions are being asked.
-----------------------------------------------------

Please answer the following questions so we can get an understanding of how you and the rest of this nation is positioned for the upcoming election. This is meant to be an unbiased poll.

1. Do you plan on voting for the man who is the best candidate for the country or John McCain who would simply be an extension of George Bush.


2. By the way, do you agree that the War in Iraq is being run poorly?


3. Oh, and do you agree that it was a bad idea to go into Iraq in the first place since, after all, we never did find WOMD. Or do you support the neo-con war.


4. Which of the following do you plan to vote for? a) McCain/Palin b)Obama/Biden


5. Do you think Palin is cute but too inexperienced for the presidency?


6. Of course you agree that Obama has enough executive experience because he has been running his presidential campaign since he was elected to the Senate two years ago?


7. Do you agree that McCain is way too old to run this country?


8. Are you a democrat or a right wing conservative neo-con-pro-war-republican


9. Do you agree that raising taxes on corporations as Obama says he will do will not cause the economy to sputter, and that he is the right person for the job? Or, do you like McCain's plan of more of the same (think George Bush here).


10. Oh, and by the way, how likely is it that you will vote in 2008?

Again, this is an unbiased poll. A small sample of democrats, er, um, a representative sample of America will be surveyed to represent the whole of how America feels at this moment. Please give us your honest answers.
