I'll take my share of the credit for making many of you Conservative. You're welcome.
"Two researchers from the Department of Psychology and Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University demonstrated that the more white Americans know about the changing demographics of the United States, the more likely they are to endorse conservative policy positions"

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is not you that tends to make me "fear" becoming a minority.
It is the gang bangers hanging out on the corner harassing people. It is the kids walking down the street with their pants down around their thighs while they grab the front of them around crotch to hold them up. It is the ever increasing crime rate among blacks, including black on black crime. It is the drop-out rate, the unemployment rate, the absentee father rate and the overall failure rate of too many poor people, of which the majority are black.
It is people like you that give me hope. The ones that overcome obstacles to become successful. The ones that work to achieve an education. Those people give me hope for a future that is sure to change. Even those of you with a seeming chip on your shoulder, as long as you use it as a motivator instead of an excuse.

Let see...
Under the current political environment, there is a large prejudice against white people and a big tendency to ignore the rules. Why on earth would white people fear becoming a minority?
But a better question would be - why should anyone fear being a minority in a real Republic?

So... It would NEVER cross the minds of institutional wastrels like those who wrote this pathetic article, that the more people know in general about the way things work, the more likely they are to embrace policies that solve problems, rather than celebrate dysfunction, poverty, servitude to the state and dependency.
Nope. It all has to do with racism...
Sure. And pigs can fly out of your ass.

Isn't everything explained by racism?
right?

Ya know....I think I like where this thread is going.

BOOM!

I've read that political viewpoints correlate very strongly with familial origin, strongly enough to beat statistics. Usually the only things that do that are alleles.

So what you're saying is: If you're Grandpaw was a racist, there's a strong predisposition to be one too.

No, I'm saying that if direct first degree relatives were conservative, there is a higher probably that you'll be conservative than if the direct first degree relatives were liberal. Glad I could clear that up for you.

Did I forget the smillie??? ;D 8) 8) 8)
Though, I'm not 100% certain that if I were right, you'd say so....even if it were 25% predisposition.

upbringing couldn't possibly be a factor...

Less likely, since kids normally reject the outmoded viewpoints of their parents, along with their deplorable fashion sense.

That certainly explains the Kennedy clan here in Taxachusetts.

It is the acceptance and regurgitation of bullshit like this as 'science' that puts the lie to the whole 'inconvenient truth' about global warming, err, climate change or whatever they are calling it this month, and everything else in their makebelieve worldview.
Liberals basically make shit up that fits their worldview, call it science, and then deride anyone who disagrees - if the opposition makes progress in correcting the issue the Left just moves to censor/silence any opposing thought (see Oregon school district and climate change) - it is pathetic.
