Ever wonder why liberal leftists are so shallow and humorless and always on the ready to espouse politically correct thought? Well the whole question of “how can they be that crazy” has now been solved. It’s all in the cranium and Harvard researchers have finally figured out what causes liberals to be so difficult to reason with.
Scientists Find ‘Liberal Gene’ — Study conducted by researchers at University of California, San Diego and Harvard — According to these scientists “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” determine whether you are a liberal. “The study was led by UCSD’s James Fowler and focused on 2,000 subjects from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Scientists matched the subjects’ genetic information with ‘maps’ of their social networks. According to researchers, they determined that people ‘with a specific variant of the DRD4 gene were more likely to be liberal as adults.’ However, the subjects were only more likely to have leanings to the left if they were also socially active during adolescence. ‘It is the crucial interaction of two factors — the genetic predisposition and the environmental condition of having many friends in adolescence — that is associated with being more liberal,’ according to the study.

In other words liberals are people who are driven to be in social cliques in their school years. By adopting socially fashionable behavior and trendy ideas they seek to impress others and gain social acceptance. The more friends they have the more shallow their relationships since they are only pursuing social status IE: quantity not quality. Thus conditioned while young they become more susceptible to politically correct (leftist) thought when presented as pop culture when adults. The liberal mind is unable to grok right from wrong as it evaluates ideas based solely on utility for social advancement and status and not common sense.
This diagram of the modern leftists brain is the work of Ukrainian social researcher Oleg Atbasian. Atbasians’ work when combined with the Harvard research sited above goes a long way to explaining why American society is WASS (we are sooooo screwed).
And the key to it all: Liberals are more open, said lead researcher James H. Fowler, a professor of both medical genetics and political science at the University of California, San Diego.
“The way openness is measured, it’s really about receptivity to different lifestyles, for example, or different norms or customs,” he told FoxNews.com. “We hypothesize that individuals with a genetic predisposition toward seeking out new experiences [a measure of openness] will tend to be more liberal” — but only if they had a number of friends when growing up, Fowler cautioned. – Fox News
I have always loved the saying, “Being open minded is a good thing, but not so open that you brains fall out”, and I think that this is the dividing line between neo-liberals and the rest of us. Conservatives are open to listening to all points of view but have a lunacy strainer in the brain that keeps leftist garbage from clogging the mind.
The video below illustrates the challenges faced by conservatives when attempting to talk sense to a liberal.
Reconquista is the New Cool in Racist Left-wing Hollywood
May Day marchers in Denver, 2010
The Anarchists, Marxists, and Revolutionary Zapatistas I photographed in May now have a movie championing their lunatic vision of America. James P. Pinkerton’s review of Hollywoods latest anti-American killing spree, “Machete” is aptly titled “The Reconquista is Here”.
One could figure that the current drug-war in Mexico–nearly 30,000 people murdered in just three years–would generate a cultural reaction. And one could further figure, of course, that the tens of millions of people who have crossed the U.S.-Mexican border in recent decades would have an enormous cultural impact, including on the movies. But who knew that Hollywood would blame everything that’s gone wrong in Mexico on the “Anglos”?
Well, actually, come to think of it, maybe Hollywood’s adversarial stance toward the majority culture is no surprise at all. Yet rarely has the “case” against Anglo America been made as strongly, albeit cartoonishly, as in “Machete.” …. all the Anglos are either evil or stupid.
By contrast, almost all the Hispanics in the film are virtuous, especially the character portrayed by Michelle Rodriguez, reprising her hot-but-tough-girl role in “Avatar.” In “Machete,” she plays a selfless underground community worker, giving selflessly to “the people.” Her character, who comes to be known as “She,” is meant to remind us of “Che,” as in Che Guevara, of course. Indeed, She/Che has the most political lines in the film: “We didn’t cross the border–the border crossed us!” And using words directly taken from advocates of “comprehensive immigration reform” in Washington, she adds, “The system doesn’t work, it’s broken.”
More than just another movie exemplifying liberalism’s self-loathing and glorification of violence, Machete goes further in advocating the radical justification for leftist war against America. Machete is nothing less than Psycho-political incitement to violent revolution against American society and sovereignty.
The story of a former Mexican “Federale” (the great Danny Trejo) framed for the attempted assassination of a racist Texas State Senator (the hammy Robert DeNiro) is both racial and racist. “Machete” isn’t about a political call for the powerless to fight THE corrupt MAN, it’s a call for revolution; Mexicans against Americans – and in the words of the character meant to be our evolving conscience, Jessica Alba’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Sartana, it’s about how those who believe in only LEGAL immigration “deserve to be cut down.” This is her rousing fist-in-the-air message to a gathered army of illegal day laborers who have been patiently waiting for the call away from their jobs as dishwashers, gardeners and hotel maids to wage war against a cruel America whose immigration laws, by the way, are nowhere near as harsh as Mexico’s.
In Machete Americans are shown committing atrocities like killing a pregnant woman while saying “Welcome to America” or nailing a dope smoking priest (Cheech Marin) to a cross while hurling racist hate speech as Hollywood imagines it.
Meanwhile it’s been 9 years of non-stop terrorism and terror plots here in the real world and Hollywood has not offered one critical portrayal of the world of the Islamic jihadist. It takes Bollywood to show the way in 2009 with Kurbaan, which is set inside the muslim community in the United States. The movie, made in Hindi with English subtitles, courageously portrays the infiltration of academia and suburbia by foreign born jihadists and also provides a portrait of liberated (moderate) muslims as heros fighting against the terrorists next door.
It depicts a liberated muslim woman who is forced to participate in a suicide terror plot after unwittingly marrying a foreign jihadi. A liberated muslim couple who work in the news industry are brought into the plot as tragic heros to combat the terrorists. Go to the second half (instant view on Netfix) of this movie (skipping the Bollywood romance) and see what Hollywood should be doing to help combat the world of Jihad terror that has imbedded itself into the very fabric of American society. The moderate muslim heros are credible and complex and go a long way to present positive role models for the muslim community.
Hollywood has no doubt yearned to make jihad supporting movies reflecting their true sympathies for America’s Islamist enemy. The only question is why they haven’t. My guess is that they are afraid of the impact it might have on their wallets but not out of any conscientious restraint. The idea of loving America or valuing western civilization above all others is anathema to the lewd liberal lushes and dopers that run Hollywood. Having imbibed their anti-American marxism with their LSD in the 60s they can’t help but cheer on the reconquista and turn a blind eye to stealth jihad. It’s just a new chapter in their long hoped for smashing of “the system.”
Truth is much weirder than fiction when it comes to the mindset of American’s homegrown Hollywood left.
Short of stating it explicitly, elitism implies that “the masses” are mindless, spiritless creatures without free will, always in need of the largesse of the state, and for their own good the state ought to nationalize the country’s resources in order to feed its subjects.
Claudia Cadelo is the name of a courageous young female blogger in Cuba. She is one of the very few Cubans who dare to speak out against a totalitarian society in which they themselves are born captive. She blogs knowing that she can be arrested and sentenced to twenty years in prison at any moment, day or night. Claudia Cadelo follows the example of her mentor, Yoani Sanchez, who decided two years ago to blog in Cuba openly as a free person does in a free country. Claudia emulates Yoani’s blogging style of beautifully written short posts (two to four paragraphs) accompanied by one photograph. There are hundreds of Cuban dissidents in prison with long sentences for speaking much less than Yoani or Claudia. The photo below is from Claudia’s most recent post.
To Michael Moore and the millions of simple minded liberal Americans who believe that Cuba has a “single payer” health care system worth emulating, this blog post is for you.
“I have nothing to say to people that use their freedom of expression, their civil rights, their economic freedoms and their political freedoms to defend this totalitarian system. I don’t believe that any system is perfect, but what I am sure of is that this system is not the right one: a better society cannot be constructed if the basis of it is oppression, fear, militarism, the absence of civil rights and the supreme unlimited power in the hands of only two or three people; and we can add to that that the social ills, the corruption and the poverty which are also a part of the status quo, which remains.” Claudia Cadelo
Life is sacred in Cuba? – By Claudia Cadelo
These words of Arlín Rodríguez, from the TV talk show The Roundtable on March 17, thundered in my ears for half an hour. A few days ago I had access to three hundred photos of the autopsies of those who died at the psychiatric hospital in Havanaand I cannot imagine how that phrase came out of the mouth of a journalist.
When I opened the little folder called “Mazorra” a series of monstrosities hit me in the face and I couldn’t stop looking at the cruel graphic testimony. A friend who is a doctor visited and while he analyzed images I didn’t have the courage to look at, expressions like, “Holy Virgin Mary, Blessed God, What in God’s name is this?” issued from his outraged throat, mixed with obscure pathologies and the names of diseases both treatable and curable.
Enormous livers, tubercular lungs, and wormy intestines are the proof, Señora Arlín, of the sacredness of life in Cuba. Meanwhile The Roundtable throws a fit because the death of Orlando Zapata Tamayo has unmasked a crumbling public health system, and they try to cover up the disgrace of a seeing soldiers dragging and beating a group of womendressed in white with flowers in their hands. I ask myself, Gentlemen Journalists, when will they explain to Cubans the reasons why twenty-six mentally incapacitated people died in inhumane conditions during their confinement in Mazorra?
Note: I publish this photo with a completely clear conscience; if they were not shown there would be no proof of the suffering that these people were subjected to. If not for the hard photos that denounced the Nazi Holocaust, the genocide of Pol Pot or the tortures in the prisons of Abu Ghraib, they, too, would not have existed
The Center for Security Policy created a powerful 1-minute video opposing the construction of the 13-story, $100 million mega-mosque near site of the World Trade Center. The Twin Towers were destroyed on 9/11 by adherents to the barbaric, supremacist and totalitarian program authoritative Islam calls “Shariah.” And the imam who is promoting this mosque has publicly declared that he seeks to “bring Shariah to America.”
As the ad makes clear, Shariah’s followers have long built mosques on the most sacred sites of those they have conquered – for example, on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, at Constantinople/Istanbul’s St. Sophia Basilica and in Cordoba, Spain, the capital of the occupying Moors’ Muslim kingdom.
In Jerusalem the Dome of the Rock is seen perched atop the Temple Mount, the site of three Jewish national temples. The Kotel or “Wailing Wall” is seen in the foreground. The Dome of the Rock was placed as a mocking symbol of triumph and supersession over Judaism and Christianity. Bernard Lewis is one of the world’s leading scholars of Islamic history. Here is what he wrote about the location of the Dome of the Rock Mosque:
“The choice is significant. Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Qur’an. Even the name “Jerusalem” does not figure in early Muslim writings.”
Of course New York City is not mentioned in the Koran either, but islamists are interested in it for the same reasons that they wanted Jerusalem 14 centuries ago: Islamic imperialist supremacy.
The Wailing Wall with it’s monolithic Herodian stones is actually the western retaining wall of the temple mount. Romans demolished the temple in 70 CE and killed, enslaved and exiled millions of Israelis. Jews have mourned the event for millinia and this is as close as they are allowed to worship to their temples historic location. The photo above shows many Bar Mitzva ceremonies being performed for poor families on a thursday afternoon recently.
Directly above this plaza sit the two 8th century arab mosques, the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa. All too often after friday prayers moslems rush out of the mosques and hurl pre-positioned stones and pieces of concrete down on the jewish worshipers. Israeli riot police must respond to quell the attacks.
An 8th century inscription on the exterior of the Al Aqsa mosque is a clear threat which still resonates with those who seek to impose Islam and sharia law on the world: God bears witness that there is no God but he, and so too the angels, those who possess knowledge, and stand firm in justice. There is no God but he, the omnipotent, the omniscient. God’s religion is Islam …Let whoever disbelieves in the signs of God beware, for God is swift in reckoning.“
It is common to see soldiers praying at the wall before departing for duty. The cavern seen in the background holds a large prayer room and a public/religious registry. This is the area where the many worshipers have been injured by falling stones.
Whenever arabs gather in the mosques Israeli police wait patiently outside the western wall, often for hours in the scorching sun, hoping that things remain calm. All entrances to the mosque area are monitored to prevent weapons or known terrorists from entering. The wailing wall is about 40 feet down and to the left in this photo, taken through a wire and iron barrier from a walkway in the Jewish quarter. Islamic Triumphalism has a very long and ugly history. Most New yorkers and Americans are only just learning about it now.
