Random Nuclear Strikes

By now you’ve probably hear about the “study” that purports to show that folks on the right have larger Amygdalas than leftists, and therefore have a greater ability to sense a threat and plan for “worst case scenarios”.

Of course, this was hailed by leftists and they proclaimed it as proof that “conservatives are great big scaredy cats.” The study also listed leftists as having more “courage” and optimism due to their larger Anterior Cingulate. I put quotes around the word courage, because while most equate “courage” with “bravery”, the research shows that the author of the “study” uses it to mean “open to more ideas”.

I guess that when you’re willing to believe anything, anything will pass as a compliment.

I also put the word study in quotes because this is a preliminary discovery, and even the author states it doesn’t show if these sections of the brain are genetically larger or if they are grown by a person throughout their lifetime.

But all that aside, over at the hate-filled big “P” progressive site, Crooks and Liars, it took exactly three commenters to get one that suggests people have their brains scanned and those with large Amygdalas be “quarantined for their own good”. He has even come up with a name for it.

And yet you and I are the ones they say people need to be worried about.
