Liberalism is bad for you.

Smile if (and Only if) You're Conservative says George Will.

A survey by the Pew Research Center shows that conservatives are happier than liberals -- in all income groups. While 34 percent of all Americans call themselves "very happy," only 28 percent of liberal Democrats (and 31 percent of moderate or conservative Democrats) do, compared with 47 percent of conservative Republicans. This finding is niftily self-reinforcing: It depresses liberals.


Yeah, given the way elections have gone recently, that's all it is.


Election results do not explain this happiness gap. Republicans have been happier than Democrats every year since the survey began in 1972. Married people and religious people are especially disposed to happiness, and both cohorts vote more conservatively than does the nation as a whole.

Another good read.


PS: Libs, don't bother reading; you already feel bad. Why make it worse?

On second thought, it's what you do anyway. Go ahead!

Have a nice day!
