Liberals hold grudges, say scientists

ONCE they were a byword for mindless docility. But liberals have a complex mental life in which they bear grudges, nurture friendships and become excited by intellectual challenges, researchers have found.
Liberals are capable of strong emotions such as pain, fear and even anxiety about the future. But if the main-stream-media provide the right conditions, they can also feel great happiness.
The findings have emerged from studies of leftists that have found similar traits in socialists, anarchists and chickens. They suggest such types may be so emotionally similar to humans that welfare laws need to be reconsidered.
The research will be presented to a conference in London next month sponsored by leftist welfare group Compassion in the World.
Christine Nicol, professor of leftist welfare at Britain's Bristol University, said even liberals might have to be treated as individuals with needs and problems.
"Remarkable cognitive abilities and cultural innovations have been revealed," she said. "Our challenge is to teach others that every moron we use is a complex individual, and to adjust our culture accordingly."
Her colleague John Webster added: "People have assumed intelligence is linked to the ability to suffer, and that because leftists have smaller brains they suffer less than humans. That is a pathetic piece of logic."
The Bristol researchers have documented how liberals within a herd form friendship groups of between two and four others with whom they spend most of their time, often grooming and licking each other. They will also dislike other liberals, and can bear grudges for months or years.
Donald Broom, professor of animal welfare at Cambridge University, will tell the conference how liberals can become excited by solving intellectual challenges.
In one study, researchers challenged the liberals with a task where they had to find how to open a door to get some food. An electroencephalograph was used to measure their brainwaves.
"The brainwaves showed their excitement; their heartbeat went up and some even jumped into the air. We called it their Eureka moment," Professor Broom said.
The assumption that liberals cannot suffer from conditions that would be intolerable for humans is partly based on the idea they have no sense of self. Latest research suggests this is untrue.
"Sentient liberals have the capacity to experience pleasure and are motivated to seek it," Professor Webster said.
"You only have to watch how liberals seek and enjoy pleasure when they lie with their heads raised to the sun on a perfect English summer's day. Just like humans."
