Deep-seated political differences aren’t simply moral and intellectual: They’re also biological.

In reflex tests of 46 political partisans, psychologists found that conservatives were more likely than liberals to be shocked by sudden threats.

Accompanying the physiological differences were deep differences on hot-button political issues: military expansion, the Iraq war, gun control, capital punishment, the Patriot act, warrantless searches, foreign aid, abortion rights, gay marriage, premarital sex and pornography.

"People are experiencing the world, experiencing threat, differently," said University of Nebraska political scientist John Hibbing. "We have very different physiological orientations."

The Bush administration has been accused of exploiting fears, though it’s hardly a new approach.

snip

Of course, ethics tend to be forgotten during election seasons — but fear-mongering may be counterproductive.

snip

Darren Schreiber, a University of California, San Diego political psychologist, contends that a candidate "who merely tries to trigger fear simply can’t be successful in the long run. Joe McCarthy had his run, but now his name is synonymous with a vile form of politics."

"Real" conservatives will never figure out that they are being exploited.

It is our responsibility to protect that child once that child’s born too. When we start debating a budget, let’s make sure we don’t cut 100,000 vaccines. Let’s make sure we’ve got health insurance. We seem to worship what we cannot see, but as soon as that baby’s born, oh no, we don’t want to be intrusive. Texas is going to shrink government until it fits inside a women’s uterus. Senator Leticia Van de Putte

You could replace McCarthy with George Bush and not change the meaning of the sentence.

Historical fact shows that clearly.

Whats ironic is today liberals in both the House, Senate, and Whitehouse engage in what they call 'McCarthyism' daily, with impunity.

No, Bush did much better than McCarthy did. He got Fourth and Sixth Amendments overturned with the stoke of a pen. The drunk McCarthy could only dream of being able to do such things.

"The whole aim of practical politics," wrote journalist gadfly H.L. Mencken, "is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins."

Global warming/cooling/whatever, racists under the bed, greedy corporations, the pain of having to make a decision without gov regulation. These are the things that libs fear.

Don't let any of these things pollute your beautiful mind, the government will provide all.

No.

Are you going to have a nice purge without gossip, rumors and tattletales?

I've stood on a gray day in the Fifth Marine Division Cemetery on Iwo Jima, and looked off at the graves of 2,198 Americans. In the center of all those graves on a slim white pole on a concrete pedestal flew the American flag. And I swear it was not the flag of informers. And if I could take a census of all the American faces I have seen and of all the dead whose graves I have looked on--if I could ask them one simple question: "Would you like a man who told on his friend?"--there would not be one among them who would answer, "Yes."

But show me the man who informs on friends who have harmed no one, and who thereafter earns money he could not have earned before, and I will show you not a decent citizen, not a patriot, but a miserable scoundrel who will, if new pressures arise and the price is right, betray not just his friends but his country itself.
