"Liberalism was associated with stronger conflict-related anterior cingulate activity, suggesting greater neurocognitive sensitivity to cues for altering a habitual response pattern."Essentially, conservatives tend to rely on ‘persistence’ in a ‘habitual response pattern,’ despite signals that this response pattern should change... (i.e. "stay the course")
Liberals have more gray matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity - the anterior cingulate cortex, while the conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing fear - the right amygdala.
Liberal: ...generous, abundant, lavish, broadminded, tolerant, enlightened, charitable, free, advanced
Antonym:
Conservative: ...stingy, miserly, reactionary, regressive, bigoted, prejudiced, biased, narrow-minded, strict
Synonyms: obstinate, inflexible, uncreative, hide-bound, unimaginative, undaring, unprogressive, red-neck

" Here's an article that tells you exactly what Muthee and his ilk are up to in Africa. It's long, but if you read nothing else, read the part about the ndoki orphans (about a quarter way down). It's just sickening.

Stunning research. Thanks for the link. I MUST do a post on this in the future. This is very disturbing stuff.
