Kansas enacts "constitutional carry"

[Clocker]

The loud bangs you will hear aren't gun shots, they are moonbat heads exploding. Constitutional carry means that those over 21 years of age may carry a concealed fire arm without a permit or any training requirement.

Currently, five other states have constitutional carry: AK, AZ, AR, VT, and WY.

More states to come.......

These legislatures went into overdrive to protect gun rights after Sandy Hook and the extreme reaction of the left.

Sure hope it comes to the Bayou state.

So, because gay people are born that way, we must accept all their behaviors unquestioningly. Conservatives are born with an innate sense of fear, but we are free to dump on them with all the might of science and bigotry. Have I got that right, according to the link?

[tucker6]

That article is bunk, and so slanted toward the liberal view as to be laughable. Since owning a business is the epitome of fearlessness, why do twice as many conservatives own businesses than liberals??

[classhandicapper]

IMO our brains are wired differently (though it seems you can change with life experience). IMO liberals and conservatives see the world and the likely outcomes from various policies differently, though that article was obviously biased.

[Clocker]

Pop psychology at its utmost. From the author's brief bio: Barber accounts for societal differences in sexual and reproductive behavior using an evolutionary approach.

Isn't that special. Pure moonbattery.

Most societies are divided into a party that wants change (the more liberal party) and one that is afraid of change (the conservatives). The liberal party is generally more intellectual and the conservative party is more anti-intellectual.

The liberals do want change. Despite all evidence to the contrary, they want more and bigger government, because they believe that the government makes better decisions than the private sector. Conservatives are afraid of that change, for sure. But they want change too. They want to change the role of government to that dictated by those change-fearing founders that rebelled against big government in the 1770s and started a new country.

Liberals are more intellectual? April Fools Day was last week. The leaders of the intellectual party are Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, the Clintons, and a community organizer who can't figure out that the Ayatollahs in Iran are up to no good?

Actually, what is laughable is your response to the article.Its grounded in verified empirical evidence obtained by MRI brain scans.It's source is not some lefty rag it's "Psychology today"But it's biased bunk because you don't like the results.Gotcha.Then you double down on inanity by stating that "owning a business is the epitome of fearlessness" .Really?Hey you're entitled to your opinion.What your not entitled to however is your own facts.Your assertion that "twice as many conservatives own businesses than liberals"is the real biased bunk here because Righties may own 39% of business vs 22% for Dems. Finance capital and taxation not courage is decisive here.

I don't think anyone would have a major issue with the suggestion that conservative and liberal brains are different. There is evidence that our brains change depending on how we stimulate them. So why couldn't there be some relationship between politics and brain also?

The implication of the article seemed to be that the liberal brain is superior and the greater risk taker. On that, you are likely to find some resistance because there is no evidence of that.

I don't think anyone would have a major issue with the suggestion that conservative and liberal brains are different.

Thomas Sowell, in his book A Conflict of Visions, says that political beliefs are shaped by a person's vision of human nature. Conservatives tend to have a “constrained” vision, which sees human nature as unchanging and selfish. They think that human nature is what it is, and if we just respect one another and don't infringe on the rights of others, we can cooperate to build a well working society.

Liberals have an “unconstrained” vision, in which human nature is malleable and perfectible. That of course involves agreeing on the specific target for what human nature should be, and moving people toward that goal. Sowell doesn't say it, but an underlying assumption of that vision is that most people don't know what is good for them.

No one has 100% one view or the other, but the more you see human nature as constrained, the more you tend to be conservative, and vice versa.

It is my opinion that the conservatives want more change than liberals although it is close. Generally speaking conservatives want change to reflect their ideals where as liberals want change to reflect their view of newly discovered reality. Gun control is a prime example of this. Conservatives believe that almost everyone has a right to a gun. Liberals want fewer people to have a right based the statistics that show limiting guns has reduced murders in some countries. Most of the changes in gun laws in recent years have been to allow more gun ownership.
