"Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a person's tendency to justify, or explain away, inequalities. "
Enough said.
Conservatives are happy because they can lie to themselves just as well as the conservatives in office have been lying to the American public.

    Yep, still banging away on his computer from his cave in parts unknown!

    Hi, Tangy! I see you and your "shoeshine" boy SpinOutofControlDave are here to spread your sad, warped daily message of cultural sensitivity, eh? Bless your frozen, unbelievably dishonest, neocon hearts. ;-P

    Geez, tanglang. Did you even read the article?
    The quote in Dionys's comment came from there--and though you might dispute the study's findings, it came from NYU and was funded by the U.S. government. I don't believe the Dept. of Homeland Security (or anyone else) has labeled either of those institutions "Muslim terrorist" organizations.
    In fact, did ANY of you reactionary conservatives read the article before commenting?

      I was pointing out that one of our resident terrorist supporters was here to give his opinion. Nothing more.
      Way to get yer panties in a wad though. I'll give you a B- for your effort.

        Did sticking up for a terrorist supporter make you feel better?

        I respond to people's comments individually, and I take what they say on its face.
        I thought you practiced meditation. Why isn't that helping with your anger?

    Rationalization (psychology), the process of constructing a logical justification for a decision that was originally arrived at through a different mental process
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalization
    but cons just think it's the opposite of irrational

      irrational
      for the pythagoreans it came to mean something threatening, a hint that their world view might not make sense, which is today the other meaning of "irrational".
      Adjective
      Not rational; unfounded or nonsensical.
      an irrational decision
      Translations
      unfounded or nonsensical
