Figure 8.5. Conservative liberty: Car at a dormitory at Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA. The lower sticker says: “Libertarian: More freedom, less government.”

Subject: Head up A__
I vote republican because I’m against other people (authority figures) taking my money (that I work hard for) and giving it to a non-producing, welfare collecting, single mother, crack baby producing future democrat. Simple … You’re an over educated “philosopher” with soft hands who gets paid to ask stupid questions and come up with “reasonable” answers.… Go drop some acid and read some Jung.
To: Jonathan HaidtSubject: Top 15 reasons that people vote Democrat
• Laziness.• You want something for nothing.• You need someone to blame for your problems.• You’re afraid of personal responsibility or simply not willing
to accept any.• You despise people who work hard for their money, live their
own lives, and don’t rely on the government for help cradle to grave.
• You’ve had 5 kids from 3 different men and you need the welfare check.
