According to a recent Gallup survey, Republicans tend to be much happier than Democrats. When the people at Gallup say "Democrat", I'm assuming that they really mean "liberal", the word that none dare utter in the Party of Dean. For the sake of this discusssion, I'm going to use the "L" word, because that's who runs the party now. If you are a conservative Democrat, wake up---Harry Truman's dead. Go become a Libertarian or something.
In seeking to understand why our liberal bretheren are unhappy, we have to examine how human happiness works. We all know people who got married or had children or had an affair because they thought that was the one thing that would make them happy. Alas, they failed to understand that happiness is something that must be created within each of us. A person or thing can not make you happy. It can bring joy or elation, but that must be an expression of the happiness which already exists in our hearts. This is why severely depressed people can not enjoy social situations; there is no happiness from which to grow enjoyment of the moment.
This is the fundamental flaw of liberalism, and thus, the Democratic Party. Liberals rely on others for fulfillment and happiness. Don't believe me? Look how they react to a tax cut: "It's a break for the rich." Putting aside the fact that I received a tax break and I'm not wealthy, consider what a tax cut does: it leaves people with more money in their pockets to do with what they will. However, they are responsible for making wise decisions with that money. If it all gets spent on hookers, liquor and blow, then it's wasted. But it's your call.
In the liberal's mind, it's the government that should decide how our money is spent. They need the Big Hand to give them things in order to MAKE THEM HAPPY. But since happiness can not be ultimately derived from without, then the handouts must continue indefinitely, or a sort of depression sets in. It's like a heroin addict, except we are all paying for the drug and the needles.
The Democrats of today are filled with "If onlys". If only Al Gore had won the election. If only we hadn't invaded Iraq. If only we could all sit down, hold hands and teach the world to sing. If only, if only, if only. The problem is that, even with all these wishes fulfilled, the Dems would still have to come up with more demands. Consider Jesse Jackson: if there was suddenly an end to all racism, where would he be? Nowhere. Thus, racism must always continue. And if it is quelled, then we must change the definition of what racism is.
One more thing: if you're a Dem and you're unhappy now, just wait until November. Buy some tissue.

Posted by: casino games at December 7, 2004 11:42 AMOur main conclusions about the state are that a minimal state, limited to the narrow functions of protection against force, theft, fraud, enforcement of contracts, and so on, is justified; that any more extensive state will violate persons' rights not to be forced to do certain things, and is unjustified; and that the minimal state is inspiring as well as right. by free online poker

The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing? by online poker
