conservatives are a bunch of whiny little brats, according to a study at uc berkeley. ok, perhaps every study coming out of berkeley is a little suspect, but it brings up an interesting point. fear makes people conservative. fear makes people look to traditions for the answers rather than seeking them in the here and now. fear of foreigners makes them tighten border security, even as the fear of having to scrub a toilet makes them then pass guest worker legislation. fear of arabs is beaten into the population to alleviate the elite's fear that the oil is going to run out, then this raises the price of crude, thus alleviating the wealth monsters' fear that profit margins might fall. fear of biological warfare is parlayed into increased duct tape profits. fear of change gets an incompetent reelected, almost every time.
fuck bush
