Republicans Happier Than Democrats ~ O.W.S. Proves the Point
“…I feel that they are lacking in strength and courage to move themselves forward.”
Dennis talks Arthur Brooks, professor of public administration at Syracuse University, Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth about Compassionate Conservatism. (Originally broadcast December 28, 2006)
From the hard work already done over at RIGHT WING SPARKLE (with fixed links), she moved her blog to here:
The Pew Research Center did several surveys to determine who was happy. Not surprisingly Republicans were happier than Democrats or Independents. 45% to 30% to 29%. In addition, Republicans have been happier every year since the General Social Survey began taking its measurements in 1972. Also, People who attend religious services weekly or more are happier as well.
Drawing on extensive attitude surveys, Schweizer’s “Makers and Takers: Why Conservatives Work Harder, Feel Happier, Have Closer Families, Take Fewer Drugs, Give More Generously, Value Honesty More, Are Less Materialistic and Envious, Whine Less . . . and Even Hug Their Children More Than Liberals,” which comes out this week, says liberals are much more likely than conservatives to think about themselves first and are less willing to make sacrifices for others.
Some 71 percent of conservatives say they have an obligation to care for a seriously injured spouse or parent, compared with 46 percent for liberals. Asked if they would endure all things for the one they love, 55 percent of conservatives say yes, compared with 26 percent of liberals.
Equally revealing, liberals are far more likely to say they are depressed and to view the world bleakly. Schweizer attributes that to an attitude that they and those around them are victims and helpless unless the government intervenes.
Well, that explains a lot, doesn’t’ it?
Republicans have more children as well:
Of the ten states with the highest fertility in the U.S., eight of them voted for Bush in 2000. Of the bottom ten states in fertility, eight went for Gore. More importantly, of the states Bush won, his margin of victory was generally much higher in high-birth rate states than lower ones. As for Gore’s states — the lower the birth rates the higher the margin of victory.
A BYU study also shows that conservatives are more likely than liberals to read opposing points of view.
Conservatives also give much more to the poor and charity and donate more of their time than liberals. You can look at some specific well know politicians for examples here.
And last, but certainly not least, Republicans have a better sex life than Democrats.
So let’s summarize. Republicans are happier, give more to the poor, have more children, and have a better sex life.
This explains a lot of the comments I have to delete. Unhappiness brings much bitterness.
I find it amazing that the picture of Republicans that Hollywood and the media try to portray is actually the opposite of reality.
I say to Democrats reading this, all is not lost. The wonderful thing about this country is that we are free to admit when we are wrong and turn things around. It can happen to you.
Come join the party. The HAPPY party….;-)
Newspapers in Iran celebrating the anti-Semitic `O.W.S.` (Occupy Wall Street) Movement
From Gateway Pundit:
The Iranian regime is celebrating the anti-Semitism at the Obama-endorsed Occupy Wall Street protests that have spread across the nation. Fars News reported:
Occupy Wall Street protesters condemned the Zionist lobbies and communities living in the US as well as the Zionist regime of Israel for the economic inequality and crisis in the United States, saying that their country is falling apart for the sake of Israel.
Despite tight censorship by the western media, intense anti-Israel and anti-Zionist tendencies are reported from Occupy Wall Street protest demonstrations against the US administration’s cruel economic, financial and political policies and practice.
Among the signs that could be seen in the protest were, “Gaza supports the occupation of Wall Street”, “Hitler’s Bankers” and a sign urging people to Google the following: Wall St. Jews, Jewish billionaires, Jews & Federal Reserve Bank.
In addition, anti-Israel signs were raised against “Israel’s occupation of Gaza”.
Another protestor said that “a small ethnic group constitutes almost all of the hedge fund managers and bankers on Wall Street. They are all Jewish. There is a conspiracy in this country where Jews control the media, finances. They have pooled their money together in order to take control of America.”
Zionist organizations and communities, including the “Emergency Committee for Israel”, released videos showing that Zionist Jews being blamed and condemned for the US financial crisis and assistance to Israel.
In the video, a young demonstrator is seen arguing with an older Jewish man wearing a yarmulke. At one point, the young man says, “I work, earn seven dollars an hour. You have the money. You don’t speak English? You are from Israel? Go back to Israel.”
Another African-American protester condemns the Zionists for taking over America. “The smallest group in America controls the money, media and all other things. The fingerprints belong to the Jewish bankers who control Wall Street. I am against Jews who rob America. They are one percent who control America. President Obama is a Jewish puppet. The entire economy is Jewish. Every federal judge in the East Coast is Jewish.”
Another placard read “Zionists control Wall Street”. Video cameras also captured a man’s hateful tirade against a Zionist visitor to Zuccotti Park, site of the New York protest.
The man also carried a sign denouncing “Jewish bankers” and called President Barack Obama a “Jewish puppet.”
Similar incidents have been reported at economic protests in Los Angeles.

One good aspect of this junk is that more and more people will vote Republican
What Do MSNBC and the NYT`s (and more), Obama, the Nazi Party of the USA, the New Black Panther`s, and the Communist Party of the USA Have In Common?
They Support the Occupy Movement!
The Nazi Party came out in support of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement mainly because they know it is anti-Semitic, as well as the New Black Panther Party. Many media “acolytes” support the movement (for instance: the NYT, MSNBC hosts [Ratigan, Sharpton, etc], and the like)… even Obama once again came out in support of the movement, again. Some say this is an odd combination, I beg to differ (link in graphic above). Celebrities are also taking sides with this radicalized movement in supporting cop-killers and occupy’ers.
Even the “anarchists” involved do not know what the “F” they are talking about! For instance, Prager commented on this mix-up a while back:
Pinko-Commies Marching in Downtown Chicago
Gateway Pundit has this post that should make more people vote Republican in 2012:
This is frightening.
THOUSANDS of Obama-endorsed “Occupy Chicago” protesters cheer open communists at their rally last night in downtown Chicago. Later on 175 of the Obama-endorsed protesters were arrested for trespassing.
Rebel Pundit has video and more on the Communist leader speaking last night at the rally.
Also see what happens when crazy — drunken — libs get together to occupy St. Loiuse.

Gateway Pundit has this excellent point/post:
The Emergency Committee for Israel released a video plea today asking democrats to speak out against the anti-Semitism at their national Occupy Wall Street protests.
This video speaks volumes.
