I wonder what an analysis of Jimmy McMillan’s genes would show. BTW, Mr. “The Rent Is Too Damn High Party” now has his own action figure.
Liberals may owe their political outlook partly to their genetic make-up, according to new research from the University of California, San Diego, and Harvard University. Ideology is affected not just by social factors, but also by a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4. The study’s authors say this is the first research to identify a specific gene that predisposes people to certain political views.

Lead researcher James H. Fowler of UC San Diego and his colleagues hypothesized that people with the novelty-seeking gene variant would be more interested in learning about their friends’ points of view. As a consequence, people with this genetic predisposition who have a greater-than-average number of friends would be exposed to a wider variety of social norms and lifestyles, which might make them more liberal than average. They reported that “it is the crucial interaction of two factors – the genetic predisposition and the environmental condition of having many friends in adolescence – that is associated with being more liberal.” The research team also showed that this held true independent of ethnicity, culture, sex or age.
#9 Right after you take your meds. Ask conFused for some. I bet they’ll work for you too.
Pedro==remember when you used to think?
maybe we could just give every new baby a DNA test then tattoo them with either a red or blue patch on their foreheads
While I concur that Liberals have many more friends than conservative (really common knowledge by now), I’m not sold on the liberal/conservative gene thing. The comment about liberals living in cities and conservatives living in sterile suburbs is interesting, though.
For the record, I was both socially and fiscally conservative at one time. In fact admired William F Buckley. Not to be disrespectful to conservatives but over the years I discovered them to be hateful motherfuckers. Now I am socially liberal but remain fiscally conservative.

I protest!
Chico was often out fucking or gambling rather than being on set!

That’s just not nice.
This is true … it’s the same gene that gives you common sense.
So it’s the lack of a gene that causes one to fall for authoritarians? I’m thinking that some conservatives lack the skeptic gene, too. Ass the parody gene as well.
Add, not ass. lol
It must be fun to f*ck with people. I really want to be a researcher when I grow up so that I can hypothesize a bunch of conjectures just to get people in a tizzy. It must be fun to be so easily played. Wait… I already (never mind)… nothing to hear here. Move along. Move along.
Likes2LOL, Those action figures are TOO AWESOME!!
So is this a dominant or recessive gene? Do your parents have to be liberals for you to get it?
If so, then liberals are doomed, since they are more likely to have abortions.
So do you have the gene if you are a Democrat running ads in support of the Tea Party candidates?

#52 Actually, liberals are more likely to use birth control
hmm… if true, this may explain how you can turn someone into an instant extremist or social chameleon.
Back in the late 50′s the russians discovered they can make the brain produce or inhibit, all neurotransmitters known to man by simply stimulating the brain with the key frequency that the neurotransmitter or receptor resonates at using minute microamp pulses of electricity.
(today, a 9volt battery and about $30 of electronics parts could completely remove the need for anti-depressants and most all anti-biotics. -you can see why this is has been suppressed, -especially in western science)
Later on it was learned that the same effect could be made using (wireless) electromagnetic pulses or sound pulsed at the same, key frequencies. They also learned these techniques can heal or “transmit” disease signatures via a wireless signal.
In the last decade or so, it is now common knowledge that DNA can be altered this way or even imprinted with the energy matrix of another organism and change what the DNA was original designed to create entirely. (the salamander embryo to a frog embryo experiment, for instance, proved this empirically)
This is known as the “dna phantom effect”
It does not take a rocket scientist to understand how easy it is to manipulate human behavour (and health) via *anything* that involves transmission of frequency.
Perhaps you can now understand why the increase in EM radiation warnings from things like cell phones, cordless phones, cell phone transmission towers, wireless laptops, wireless routers etc, are becoming much more frequent.
This has been known for decades in eastern science, (even thousands of years, once you understand the geometric shape and location of Great Pyramids were designed to focus aetheric energy and amongst other things, designed to heal and help one achieve ascension and higher understanding of the basis of Life.
So now you have a small understanding as to why aetheric or “subtle” energy has been banned in western science (and religion) since around the 1600′s or so.
To paraphrase JP Morgan: one reason is simply because you “can’t put a meter on it”
