Science has proven liberals are easily brainwashed and are wired not to
follow rules or societal decorum:

Your source suggests the opposite conclusion. Perhaps you should actually
read your own material before you toss out inflamatory stereotypes.

Your own source -- "...liberals were 4.9 times as likely as conservatives to
show activity in the brain circuits that deal with conflicts, and 2.2 times
as likely to score in the top half of the distribution for accuracy."

Where does it suggest that "liberals" would be bad at anything, much less
sailing??? Quick thinking, problem solving, conflict resolution and higher
rates of accuracy under pressure - sounds like the BEST choice of sailor to
me. But somehow you twist the facts to draw your own conclusion - inferior
comprehension and bad decision making on your part. Not my definition of a
good sailor.

Your strange conclusion - " Science has proven liberals are easily
brainwashed and are wired not to follow rules or societal decorum" isn't
even in your source. However, since you brought it up...

Follow the rules? Societal decorum? We would still be under British rule if
"liberals" hadn't had the courage to defy an unjust government and toss a
few crates of tea into Boston Harbor. Do you define them as criminals or
patriots.

Our country was founded on diversity and liberal thinking. That used to be a
good thing until people like you made it into something perverse. A TRUE
patriot stands up for ALL Americans not just those that fit into your narrow
minded point of view of "societal decorum". When you start bashing
"liberals", or jews, or Northerners, or Southerners, or red states or blue
states, you show how un-american and un-patriotic you really are.

On July the 4th, America celebrates the efforts of another group of
subversive liberals - the Declaration of Independence.

You should honor our Founding Fathers by taking off the blinders. Might even
make you a better sailor.

Never mind all that crap. It just doesn't matter. The freaking study itself
is a liberal method.

The only thing you need to know about why liberals are likely to fail at
sailing is the idea espoused by Hillary Clinton who wrote a book entitled,
"It Takes a Village." The whole idea behind that book is a liberal cluster
f.ck is the only true way for humanity to succeed.

Nonsense! And a denial of individual abilities.

Liberals are doomed to failure when it comes to sailing because they just
can't manage to get that whole damned village aboard their sailboats.

Liberals are also 4.9 times as likely to create conflict -where none should
exist. Accuracy for what? Pushing one of two keys on a keyboard? Monkeys
exhibit even higher accuracies.

You certainly proved my brainwashing assertion. Where does it say what you
assert?

Actually more than 50% of the country wanted to remain as British citizens.
Check your history.

No it wasn't. The liberals thought slavery was just fine. It was a
Republican that freed the slaves.

That used to be a

So blacks weren't Americans until Republicans changed things?

When you start bashing

Freedom of speech is un-American and un-patriotic? What about freedom of
association?

That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and
Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the
British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State
of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and
Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace,
contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things
which Independent States may of right do.

An association of free and independent states. But yet today if one is for
"states rights" one is branded as a Confederate. The only presidential
candidate that stood for the Constitution and what is declared in the D.O.I.
was banned from debates and laughed out of the race.

I'll honor them by voting for the man who best embodies the original
founding principles. You can go vote for someone who wipes their a.s with
the Constitution and then tell everyone how great of an American you are.

Do you even understand what you just said? Let's see... If monkeys can
exhibit even higher accuracies than liberals, but liberals scored 2.2 TIMES
higher than conservatives, then conservatives are WHERE on that scale? You
realize that your own logic just proved you are the mental equivalent of an
amoeba.

Yuk, yuk, yuk........

Best laugh I've had in a long time.

Hey, this stuff is from your own source. Idiot.

I won't feed your silly rant any more.

... ploink....

Ain't technology wonderful.
