    Funny they seem to have resricted that behavior to big blue cities where they knew there would be no consequences for their actions.

    Ideologically-induced paranoia rails against science whenever the consensus of objective, empirical data does not defer to the ideologue's dogma.

    What does Genocide Joe's depravity have to do with Trump ? ... and Trump has not been in power to aid Bibi's Holocaust. .. and what does it even mean "I vehemently oppose your Genocide Joe" ? What on earth is "your genocide Joe" mean. I understand if you vehemently opposed the policies of Genocide Joe .. but that has nothing to do with me Natty. Joe earned his nick for his support of Al Qaeda and ISIS Jihadists over much of the last decade in Syria .. and Yemen .. the ICC even awarding him a complicity in crimes against humanity pin... so his actions in helping out with the Gaza Holocaust are nothing new

    The question remains .. why on earth did you support this goon and the Blue cancel crew ...
    What does Putin have to do with the Gaza Holocaust ?? and a vote for Biden is a vote for Netanyahu so if you would not vote for Trump on this basis this would be Triply true for a vote for Biden .. ? ? ? Biden is the one who has given the arms and money to Bibi for the Holocaust .. not Trump .. Biden the one vetoing the UN resolutions .. not Trump. As much as you love to hate the guy .. he simply was not there Natty.. It was your hero Biden doing the dirty deed .. Biden that rushed into a proxy war with Russia ... Trump calling for peace.

    What is it with the blue cancel crew .. demonizing the anti war voice .. Tulsi Gabbard in particular as Russian spies .. some kind of authoritarian McCarthyism in a descent in to Fascism and moral rot..

    Some ten years ago Democrats became the "haves" party. They lost because they wrote off poor whites.

    Who says these uber-aggressive Muslims are "leftists?" Anyway, they have no call to disrupt people going about their lawful business.

    He's extremely unpopular because of all the "progressive" policies he's been passing some of which your boy Biden was leaning towards.

    mass immigration
    taxing the wealthy
    social justice and identity politics bullshit
    gun control

    All have turned into a glorious failure and Canada should be a beacon to the rest of the progressive left's world. "your policies don't work"

    I added Canadian citizenship in 1974 (born and raised in California). I definitely look forward to seeing Trudeau get "the boot" in 2025. Biden was never my boy and I only supported him because your Orange Friend is a sicko SOB.
    The wealthy should pay taxes on what they consume (take as "personal income"). Identity politics? :thumbsdown: Gun grabbing? :thumbsdown: Mass immigration? :thumbsdown: Social justice? Depends upon what you mean.
    As you can see, they aren't my policies.

    You can't add up the bad deeds of Slick Willie Clinton and Old Joe and even come close to the rotten actions of your Orange Friend.

    Can't you find someone better than Trump?

    Who is telling them promiscuity is good?
    Women often prefer to live alone rather than work 40 hours and the come home to guy who wants to be waited on. What's to be happy about?
    You want a dependent woman? Why?
    Lots of women settle for the best version of inequality they can get.
    Traditional values = ??? Women don't want to work all day, come home and wait on the husband while watching the kids.
    What? They want a virgin? Egads.
    Single mothers get the kids. The guy gets to live alone.

    Did the American public KNOW Clinton was a womaniser when he ran for office? Was Clinton an adjudicated rapist?

    When Muslims get the short end of the stick libs worldwide start screaming.

    When Muslims commit atrocities, genocide and slaughter Christians the world is silent.

    "What on earth is 'your genocide Joe' mean?"

    It means that I acknowledged your personal characterization of President Biden.

    If you are unable to honestly address Genocide Don's enthusiastic support for Netanyahu's depravity, we should allow this thread to revert to its purported topic.

    Capital gains tax increase will absolutely see a decrease in future investment and growth as well as a brain drain south as doctors private practices get over taxed making the question as to why would any doctor practice in Canada.

    Great for America though!

    Society is telling them promiscuity is good, or at the very least perfectly acceptable. Our grandparents didn't behave this way as it was publicly shamed. Men weren't generally running around here impregnating random women who they abandoned to be single mothers. Women weren't generally running around here sleeping with multiple men and having children at of wedlock to the tune of 80% in certain communities. That sort of behavior was shunned as it should be. In our grandparents era growing up in a single parent home was the exception to the norm, now it's the norm.

    But this whole response is a case in point of exactly what my point was in the first place. Painting being a traditional wife as some sort negative concept. That is being promoted so much in our modern society and it's turning out poorly for a lot of women as they get older. The single most unhappy demographic in the US are unmarried women over the age of 35. Men seeking marriage tend to prefer women with more traditional values in a more traditional role. Not all of course, but the majority. The fact that many women don't WANT to be that is fine but data shows they end up being the most unhappy at the end of the day.

    Data suggests that women in general seem to be more happy "waiting on their husbands" or raising kids or whatever when they're 40 than being alone.

    You couldn't better? No one would ever know that by the way you go out of your way to express your hatred by writing tRaitor* whenever possible. Happy people are the nearly 80 million of us who just kicked the sad and pathetic liberal (but joyful) party and their agenda to the curb.

    Trump is your president, so smile, soak in the good vibes and immerse yourself in joy.

    *But you never explain why or how. It's all just your feelings.

    You, because you don’t know me, not “no one”.

    I “hate” nobody. I call tRaitor tRump a traitor for two reasons:
    1) He is. He totally abandoned his oath of office and disgraced the office of President of The United States.

    2) He has no compunction about calling anyone he dislikes, for any reason, names that are vile and disgusting.

    He won, you won with fewer votes than he lost with in the last election. Because 10 million people that voted against him then stayed home this time.
    No, not quite yet, and even when he is, it won’t take an egg timer to clock the time it takes him to disgrace the Office of President of The United States, himself and our Nation again.
    I do smile because I believe in our Constitution and its ability to stand up to tRaitor tRump’s treason again, just as it did last time.
    How he’s a traitor has been explained many times. The people of The United States, by electing him, have pardoned him. That doesn’t make him less a traitor.

    And, BTW, since tRaitor tRump never honored President Biden by acknowledging his Presidency I reserve the right, and will continue, to call him tRaitor tRump as long as he breathes. And there’s nothing you can do to stop me. Our Constitution says so and that makes me very happy. :lol:

    THIS GUY? LOL

    From 2009 to 2019, Brooks served as the 11th President and Beth and Ravenel Curry Scholar in Free Enterprise for the American Enterprise Institute (AEI)

    Conservatives are happier, but liberals lead more psychologically rich lives, research finds

    A recent study in the Journal of Personality sheds new light on the connection between political views and well-being. The findings indicate that those with more liberal views tend to experience lives filled with psychological richness, marked by diverse and stimulating experiences. While happiness and meaning are associated with conservative values, psychological richness appears to be more common among those with fewer conservative views.

    Previous research on well-being and political beliefs has largely focused on two primary aspects of a fulfilling life: happiness and meaning. Happiness is often defined by life satisfaction and positive emotions, while meaning involves a sense of purpose or fulfillment. Studies have consistently found that conservative beliefs are associated with higher levels of both happiness and meaning.

    This connection may be due to factors such as system justification, the belief that societal structures are fair, which can create a stable foundation for feeling content and purposeful. For example, conservatives are generally more likely to see social systems as just and reliable, which might lead to a greater sense of stability and satisfaction. Furthermore, the Protestant work ethic—a belief in the value of hard work as a path to success—is often embraced by conservatives and has been tied to a strong sense of life purpose.

    However, previous studies mostly overlooked a third dimension of a fulfilling life: psychological richness. Psychological richness refers to a life filled with new, varied, and stimulating experiences that broaden one’s perspective. This quality differs from happiness or meaning in that it emphasizes diversity and complexity over contentment or purpose. Individuals who lead psychologically rich lives seek diverse experiences and view challenges or changes as opportunities for growth.

    This dimension is especially relevant given that openness to experience—a personality trait commonly linked to psychological richness—is also often linked with liberal values. Thus, the authors of this study wanted to investigate if this previously neglected aspect of well-being might be more closely associated with liberal beliefs,offering a fuller picture of how different political ideologies relate to unique facets of a good life.

    “Our work merely illustrates that a good life should not be narrowly construed as only either a happy life or a meaningful life, and that this restricted view can obscure other important aspects of a good life—such as low levels of system justification and desire for societal changes. By broadening our understanding of what the “good” in a good life includes, the concept of psychological richness opens up new conceptual space within the science of well-being.”
    https://www.psypost.org/conservativ...re-psychologically-rich-lives-research-finds/

    Bob Altemeyer, the Canadian-American social psychologist who first coined the term and its meaning in 1981, defined the right-wing authoritarian as someone who exhibits:


    a high degree of submission to the authorities who are perceived to be established and legitimate in the society in which one lives.

    a general aggressiveness, directed against various persons, that is perceived to be sanctioned by established authorities.

    a high degree of adherence to the social conventions that are perceived to be endorsed by society and its established authorities.


    Right-wing authoritarians tend to accept what their leaders say is true and readily comply with their commands. They believe that respecting authority is an important moral virtue that everyone in the community must hold. They tend to place strict limits on how far the authorities can be criticized, and believe that the critics are troublemakers who do not know what they are talking about.

    RWAs are extremely submissive even to authority figures who are dishonest, corrupt, and inept. They will insist that their leaders are honest, caring, and competent, dismissing any evidence to the contrary as either false or inconsequential.

    Right-wing authoritarians are highly submissive to authority figures whom they consider legitimate, and conversely can be very rebellious towards authority figures they consider illegitimate.
