I was absolutely stunned when I heard this live. With all the drivel I've heard coming out of this guy's mouth, I can't believe what I hear in this video.

What's a "loose canon"?
Differing from a "loose cannon" which means - an irresponsible or reckless person, a "loose canon" refers to a loose set of rules, in this case ... my rules. Unlike many conservative bloggers that stifle debate and delete comments, I don't!

Conservatism: clinical tendencies
A study funded by the US Government's National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as: a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity". (see report)
----------
A study by NYU and UCLA published in the Journal Nature Neuroscience shows liberals have a greater cognitive ability to problem solve and cope with changing conditions than conservatives who are more "persistent and structured" and are more reliant on "habitual responses." From the study:

"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")

Study in Current Biology:
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.
Roget's Thesaurus Definitions:
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

William Yelverton - Why do you hate the families of the 9/11 victims? Why do you ignore actual moderate Muslims that do not want this? Why do you conflate whether or not something can be done with whether it should be done?
Because you can not apply the US Constitution based on what makes you comfortable. You can not apply Constitutional freedoms based on race, religion, or political correctness.
Ted Olson, former George W. Bush solicitor general, husband of a woman who died aboard the plane that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11, said Wednesday that President Obama was right about his analysis of the "Ground Zero Mosque" as a constitutional right protected by the First Amendment. He said, "we don't want to turn an act of hate against us by extremists into an act of intolerance for people of religious faith."
What Constitutional principle is involved with individuals stating their position that they do not think this mosque should be located at Ground Zero?
If you are going to try to wrap yourself in the moral authoritah, why do you ignore all of the other families of 9/11 survivors? Why do you ignore the voices of actual moderation Muslims?
Nevermind, you are a lying plagiarizing dishonest fuck.
I support your every right to protest.
And, you'll be glad to know that Howard Dean agrees with you You should be proud.
