Maybe I missed it, but I followed the link to scientific America, and I could not find the study you are talking about...

seems to me this is just another attempt to divide and destroy our country...

Robin coulda found it. Need to step up your game...

Well according to the study conservatives are less alike with eack other than liberals are with each other. That's what I was pointing out. Or am I having a reading comprehension problem with the first post?

Conservatives are unique and think for themselves

Liberals spit out the same old tired party line garbage

And all I hear is how liberals are 'free thinkers' and conservatives just spit out talking points they heard on Fox News.

You fell for it. We are used to it. Try Mother Jones instead. The OP posts a list to the study, not the article he is quoting.

My bad - Salon:

Research suggests liberals suffer from a sense of false uniqueness -- and they strive to maintain their difference

Nah, there's some liberal true believers on here that are doing anything but free thinking. Here's a measuring stick. If you think all the world's problems would be solved by the far right or left..... you're not thinking.

A freaking men. I think if we could trim 20% of the far left and right we could right the ship

Well said. Can't push your "up" button more than once, unfortunately.
