New Study Finds Wimpy Guys Are More Likely To Be Socialists – MRCTV (blog)

It's now been scientifically proven thatthe wimpier the guy, the more likely he is to be a socialist. No kidding.

According to a new study, physically weaker men are more prone to support socialism, a trend psychologists say may be because they feel they cant compete against stronger men and are therefore consider inequality more threatening.

According to the Times, U.K.,Brunel University ran a study on 171 men, measuring everything from their strength, height, weight and even bicep circumference. What the university found was that the physically inferior men tended to be the ones who said they supported the redistribution of wealth.

The physically stronger men, on the other hand, were a lot more prone to backing capitalism, and said they supported the idea of naturally dominant social groups.

This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society, explained the universitys own Michael Price. Our minds evolved in environments where strength was a big determinant of success. If you find yourself in a body not threatened by other males, if you feel you can win competitions for status, then maybe you start thinking inequality is pretty good.

Of course this isnt rational in modern environments, where your ability to win might have more to do with where you went to university, he added. Lots of guys who are phenomenally successful in modern societies would probably be nowhere near as successful in hunter gatherer societies.

Still, Price says, its pretty amazing to see how natural dominant instinct plays out in todays society, where weaker guys appear to find a lot more value in others being forced to share the wealth.

Two paths are being offered to American citizens, socialism and conservatism – Paris Post Intelligencer

Listen up, America. There are two paths offered to American citizens.

We should choose which path to travel without deviating from a mission, vision or goal to maintain and sustain our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

We may decide to choose the path on the left or the path on the right, but we cant afford to delay a choice. We cant try Yogi Berras advice that when you come to a fork in the road, take it.

In our culture, presently we are being targeted by more than one ideology. Deciding what the future will become is in our hands for the next two generations of Americans.

Do any of us have the will to face up to having become complacent as the darkening shadows of change begin overtaking our laws, rules and freedoms? Could the United States ever become defeated from within?

It looks like we have become victims to big federal government ,which expanded the size of agencies and handed out money and food cards.

Poverty increased as more citizens turned to the federal government for help.

Socialism works in that way to help people in need of a hand up, and continue that until the government owns their loyalty and takes over their lives with broken promises.

Government agencies continue to get bigger.

Voters become used to not being heard and give up the spirit of liberty in place of government control over our freedoms.

Who got upset when the White House created the Gitmo release program (Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba)? Some of these killers re-entered the war against our troops.

There was no protesting whatsoever by crowds in the streets. So much for President Barack Obamas legacy.

Obama failed to keep unemployment below 8 percent as he had promised. Unemployment remained more than 8 percent for virtually his eight years in office. There were no signs with protesters demanding jobs.

How about wondering why the Affordable Care Act promised if you want to keep your doctor, you can. Or you will save $2,500 a year on this program.

This ACA is collapsing on itself as insurers leave states because of the millions of dollars lost with this panacea of broken promises and few positive outcomes.

So how to go about choosing which path? We are divided between socialism and conservatism.

Look at social justice. Social justice is listed as the distribution of advantages and disadvantages in society. (Heritage.org.)

A closer look focuses on the word distribution, which has been added, and this could mean government control over distribution of justice.

The latest meltdown against President Donald Trump is based on anonymous tipsters or leakers, but who should believe unproven rumors?

The socialist left has trained its army of elected followers to get to the bottom of it.

Five or six TV announcements carried the exact phrase, and that is a plan to create concrete beliefs that the Democrats know what they are doing, which is keeping the lie alive that there is a collusion with Russia and Trump.

The guilty are going to be blue in the face from holding their collective breaths, but that is the color of Democrats anyway.

The single agenda of the left is to resist Trump and his White House staff and appointees by interfering with day-to-day programs.

The logic of the liberals is to slow down the unbelievable landslide of positive change to America by screaming appoint a special prosecutor or impeach Trump.

There is no pride in losers screaming, yelling and protesting against the properly elected president of the United States.

What is the motivation of the Democrats with their anonymous leakers and stirring the pot of conspiracy against the president?

Do these lawmakers know that the backfire of their efforts could well lead to an increase of GOP politicians in the House and Senate?

Much time is available to begin haunting the locations of vulnerable progressives come 2018. Keep yelling, protesters, as what goes around will come around.

Maybe they will tread more softly when a few are called up for some investigations of the obstruction of justice.

Does anyone know that former FBI boss, James Comey, made millions of dollars from the Clinton Foundation? His reputation will continue to cast a suspicious light on his history.

The Justice Statue doesnt really have a bandage over her eyes when the scales are tipped. The scales are not balanced by social justice. They are balanced by justice.

Tea Party Group Calls for Investigation Into Leaks, Unmasking – Washington Free Beacon

The cofounder of the largest Tea Party group is trying to ratchet up pressure on the House and Senate intelligence committees to investigate illegal Trump administration leaks and the Obama administration's unmasking of U.S. officials and other citizens during the presidential campaign and transition.

Jenny Beth Martin, the cofounder of the Tea Party Patriots,sent a letter on Wednesday to the leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees pressing them to investigate the illegal release of classified information to the media and the unmasking of American citizens as part of their wide-ranging probe into alleged Russian interference and meddling in the last presidential election.

"I write as president of an organization with over 2 million, an organization that has directly felt the heavy hand of persecution by the very government we support with our taxes," she wrote in the letter. "Our concern is that your investigation's emphasis and focus on our government, again illegally interfering in the lives of law-abiding citizens, will go unaddressed with no accountability."

If the GOP-led committees in Congress ignore such allegations of abuse, it would be "absolutely unacceptable in the world's leading democracy, to which people around the globe look hopefully for leadership on issues of government accountability," she said.

The Tea Party Patriots were among hundreds of conservative organizations the IRS targeted for intrusive scrutiny during the Obama administration. The IRS forced the group to wait more than three years to receive its tax-exempt status.

Martin sent the letter to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R., N.C.) and the ranking Democrat, Mark Warner (D., Va.), as well as House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes(R., Calif.) and that committee's ranking member, Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.).

"There are clearly rogue government officials, with high-level clearances, engaging in criminal activity involving classified information. Where are the voices and concerns about this from you and your colleagues? The silence is deafening and eerily reminiscent to us," she said.

The line was a reference to multiple Congressional investigations during President Barack Obama's time in office into IRS targeting of conservative groups.

So far only Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) has pursued the unmasking issue in a public hearing, Martin said. She recalled Grahams questioning of former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates two weeks ago. He asked both: "How did the conversation between the Russian ambassador and Mr. Flynn make it to the Washington Post?"

"I don't know the answer to that," Clapper answered.

"Nor do I know the answer to that," Yates followed.

Later during the hearing, Graham said "it seems pretty obvious to me that political people could, in the right position, unmask people who have political differences, who end up talking to foreign agents and use it for political purposes. That, to me is very serious."

There are only a few high-level officials in the Obama administration who had the authority to unmask these private citizens, and lawmakers have an obligation to expose who is leaking classified information to the media so that they can be brought to justice, she said.

"Every day that passes without public, government accountability for these actions only further darkens the lens of cynicism and contempt through which the American people view Washington," she wrote, urging the key group of lawmakers to set full committee hearings dates to examine the unmasking and media leaks that continue to take place.

EarlierWednesday,news broke that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court rebuked the Obama administration in late October. Circareported that the court found that the officials had "violated the safeguards Obama and his intelligence chiefs vowed to follow in 2011."

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.)on Wednesdaysaid government surveillance programs wont receive the necessary congressional reauthorization for them to continueunless officials answer questions about who in the intelligence community unmasked certain individuals.
