Re: Open letter to progressive socialists and other leftists

Paul Waldman says:
So let's ask a different question: What kind of a society do we want to create?
Liberalism is correlated with high openness and low conscientiousness
- Christopher Wylie
Conscientiousness... is a fundamental personality trait that influences whether people set and keep long-range goals, deliberate over choices or behave impulsively, and take seriously obligations to others. Conscientiousness is a key ingredient for success
Psychology Today

Low conscientiousness people therefore are unable to set and keep long-range goals, they behave impulsively, and do not uphold obligations to others. This is a key ingredient for failure.

Christopher Wylie has shown liberals are typically people of low character with tendencies toward criminal behavior.

Their predisposition towards low character and criminal behavior was also demonstrated in a study that showed 7 in 10 felons register as democrats

What kind of society would I like to create? A society with HIGH levels of conscientiousness. A society where people set and keep long-range goals, behave logically, and take seriously obligations to others. I would like a successful society without Convicted Felons getting an equal vote to honest, hardworking law abiding citizens. A nation where felons are not allowed to vote from prison. A nation where convicted felon's can NOT hold state or federal office. A nation where low-conscientious citizens and illegal aliens are not stealing the property of citizens who worked hard to earn/create that property. A nation where individual rights such as the right to keep and bear arms is respected.

Is that so much to ask????

Re: Open letter to progressive socialists and other leftists

When someone like retired Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens writes an op-ed in The New York Times calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment, it only convinces people that you're a bunch of gun-grabbers.


LOL, we already knew "you're a bunch of gun-grabbers" but I do appreciate John Paul Stevens letting the ENTIRE WORLD know that we are ENTIRELY CORRECT. Radical elitists are attempting to #1. dismantle the Constitution, #2. negate our god-given rights, #3. end the free state that the 2nd Amendment specifically protects. Thank you John Paul Stevens!

Re: Open letter to progressive socialists and other leftists

Mr. Waldman asserts household gun ownership has fallen from 50% to 32%
Mr. Waldman is making a common bogus claim.

The truth is that the number of firearms in the US has never been higher:
According to the Congressional Research Service, there are roughly twice as many guns per capita in the United States as there were in 1968: more than 300 million guns in all...."There's a gun for every man, woman, and child, more or less," says Deborah Azrael of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center.
NPR

Hardly anyone would want to admit that their household has a gun, because of issues with criminal's targeting them, illegal confiscation, or privacy. Those household gun ownership numbers are bogus. I would imagine the true percentage is WAY over 50%.
